Causal representation of multi-loop Feynman integrands within the loop-tree duality
2021
The numerical evaluation of multi-loop scattering amplitudes in the Feynman representation usually requires to deal with both physical (causal) and unphysical (non-causal) singularities. The loop-tree duality (LTD) offers a powerful framework to easily characterise and distinguish these two types of singularities, and then simplify analytically the underling expressions. In this paper, we work explicitly on the dual representation of multi-loop Feynman integrals generated from three parent topologies, which we refer to as Maximal, Next-to-Maximal and Next-to-Next-to-Maximal loop topologies. In particular, we aim at expressing these dual contributions, independently of the number of loops an…
Constraining fragmentation functions through hadron-photon production at higher-orders
2023
In certain situations, such as one-particle inclusive processes, it is possible to model the hadronization through Fragmentation Functions (FFs), which are universal non-perturbative functions extracted from experimental data through advanced fitting techniques. Constraining the parameters of such fits is crucial to reduce the uncertainties, and provide reliable and accurate FFs. In this article, we explore strategies to relate pion and FFs for other hadrons (in particular, kaons), comparing cross-section ratios imposing proper kinematical cuts. We exploit the phenomenology of photon-hadron production at colliders, including up to NLO QCD and LO QED corrections, and make use of accurate for…
