One-loop QCD corrections to gluon-gluon scattering at NNLO

Abstract

We present the O(alphas^4) virtual QCD corrections to gluon-gluon scattering due to the self-interference of the one-loop amplitude. We give analytic expressions renormalised in the MSbar scheme and work in conventional dimensional regularisation. We write the structure of the infrared divergences from direct Feynman diagram evaluation in terms of the Catani formalism for infrared divergences. Formulae for the finite remainder are given in terms of logarithms that are real in the physical region. These results, together with those previously obtained for quark-quark and quark-gluon scattering complete the one-loop matrix elements for 2 to 2 processes needed for the next-to-next-to-leading order contribution to inclusive jet production at hadron colliders.
