Fuchsia and Master Integrals for Energy-Energy Correlations at NLO in QCD

In this talk we discuss some aspects of the analytical calculation of energy correlations in electron-positron annihilation at a next-to-leading order in QCD. Our primary focus is on the most difficult task: the calculation of master integrals for real-emission contributions, which are functions of two dimensionless variables and the dimensional regulator. We use a method of differential equations and their so-called epsilon-form which is constructed with the help of the Fuchsia program based on Lee's algorithm.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure.

Calculation of QCD NLO Splitting Functions in the light-cone gauge: a new regularization prescription

We report on the progress in calculating NLO DGLAP splitting functions for $x<1$ using the New Principal Value prescription, which is a modification of the standard Principal Value approach proposed by Curci, Furmanski and Petronzio in 1980. The new prescription reproduces the standard results on the inclusive (integrated) level, but simplifies individual contributions and restricts the cancellations between real and virtual diagrams which makes it useful for Monte Carlo simulations.Comment: Presented by O.Gituliar at XX Cracow Epiphany Conference, Cracow (Poland), 8--10 Jan 201

Evolution kernels for parton shower Monte Carlo

We report on re-calculation of the next-to-leading order DGLAP evolution kernels performed in a scheme suited for Monte Carlo simulations of parton cascades (parton showers).Comment: Presented at Cracow Epiphany Conference, 8-10 January 201

Fully NLO Parton Shower in QCD

The project of constructing a complete NLO-level Parton Shower Monte Carlo for the QCD processes developed in IFJ PAN in Krakow is reviewed. Four issues are discussed: (1) the extension of the standard inclusive collinear factorization into a new, fully exclusive scheme; (2) reconstruction of the LO Parton Shower in the new scheme; (3) inclusion of the exclusive NLO corrections into the hard process and (4) inclusion of the exclusive NLO corrections into the evolution (ladder) part.Comment: Contribution to the XXXV International Conference of Theoretical Physics "Matter to the Deepest", Ustron, Poland, September 12-18, 201

Large scale analytic calculations in quantum field theories

We present a survey on the mathematical structure of zero- and single scale quantities and the associated calculation methods and function spaces in higher order perturbative calculations in relativistic renormalizable quantum field theories.Comment: 25 pages Latex, 1 style fil
