QCD Calculations by Numerical Integration

Abstract

Calculations of observables in Quantum Chromodynamics are typically performed using a method that combines numerical integrations over the momenta of final state particles with analytical integrations over the momenta of virtual particles. I discuss a method for performing all of the integrations numerically.
