description

We present complete analytical O({epsilon}{sup 2}) results on the one-loop amplitudes relevant for the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) quark-parton model description of the hadroproduction of heavy quarks as given by the so-called loop-by-loop contributions. All results of the perturbative calculation are given in the dimensional regularization scheme. These one-loop amplitudes can also be used as input in the determination of the corresponding NNLO cross sections for heavy flavor photoproduction, and in photon-photon reactions.
