Gluonic Three Jet Production at Next to Leading Order
I report results from a next-to-leading order event generator of purely
gluonic jet production. This calculation, is the first step in the construction
of a full next-to-leading order calculation of three jet production at hadron
colliders.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, uses sprocl.sty and epsf.st
The Two-Loop Infrared Structure of Amplitudes with Mixed Gauge Groups
The infrared structure of (multi-loop) scattering amplitudes is determined
entirely by the identities of the external particles participating in the
scattering. The two-loop infrared structure of pure \qcd\ amplitudes has been
known for some time. By computing the two-loop amplitudes for
and
scattering in an gauge theory, I determine the
anomalous dimensions which govern the infrared structure for any massless
two-loop amplitude.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Techniques for NNLO Higgs production in the Standard Model and the MSSM
New techniques developed in connection with the NNLO corrections to the Higgs
production rate at hadron colliders and some recent applications are reviewed.Comment: 4 pages, LaTeX, 4 ps-files included. Talk presented at the XXXVIIIth

The Four Dimensional Helicity Scheme Beyond One Loop
I describe a procedure by which one can transform scattering amplitudes
computed in the four dimensional helicity scheme into properly renormalized
amplitudes in the 't Hooft-Veltman scheme. I describe a new renormalization
program, based upon that of the dimensional reduction scheme and explain how to
remove both finite and infrared-singular contributions of the evanescent
degrees of freedom to the scattering amplitude.Comment: 20 page
Regularization Schemes and Higher Order Corrections
I apply commonly used regularization schemes to a multi-loop calculation to
examine the properties of the schemes at higher orders. I find complete
consistency between the conventional dimensional regularization scheme and
dimensional reduction, but I find that the four dimensional helicity scheme
produces incorrect results at next-to-next-to-leading order and singular
results at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order. It is not, therefore, a
unitary regularization scheme.Comment: References added and typographical errors correcte
