motivation Theoretical prediction for High Energy Physics can be done by the perturbative calculation in Quantum Field Theory. (QFTHEP) Sometimes important information comes from multi-body final states. Experimentalists presents (after hard work) high-statistic data. This requires higher order calculation.  Large scale calculation is inevitable.

How to handle large scale computation? It is beyond man-power. Automated systems to perform perturbative calculation in QFT have been developed. Many systems are successfully working in tree and 1-loop level. GRACE, CompHEP, CalcHEP, FeynArt/Calc, FDC,…

Next generation of systems should manage 2-loop and higher orders. One of the essential components is the general multi-loop calculation library. Formulae for 2-loop integrals are given for many cases: However, it seems to be difficult to write ‘general solution’.

Integration of singular function Analytic DCMContour deformation Numerical would be hard for multi-x case example

Direct Computation Method(DCM) Target Simple example Analytic If D has zero in the integration domain, we keep finite. If D has no zero in the integration domain, take and perform numerical integration. Denominator is positive: Numerical evaluation is possible.

DCM( cont.), extrapolation Wynn’s algorithm ( Math. magic) Input Even k terms give good estimation DCM= regularized integration + series extrapolation

Examples: 2-loop box (Yuasa) Following loop diagrams are successfully calculated by DCM. Mostly scalar integrals, but inclusion of numerator will be straightforward since DCM is based on numerical integration. 1-loop : 3, 4, 5, 6 – point functions 2-loop: 2, 3, 4 – point functions Following slides are the results for 2-loop box.

separation of singularity (de Donker) This integral might have IR divergence and/of UV divergence as pole(s) of. We need double extrapolation for both when V has zero in the integral region. Separation of IR poles is successful even for double-pole cases.

summary Direct computation method(DCM) is a unique numerical method to calculate loop integrals for general masses and momenta. Some items remain before it will become an important component in an automated system for higher order radiative corrections. - Study the validity of the method for wider class of mass configuration - Numerical handling of UV/IR divergence - Improve parameter selection technique for iterated computation - Accelerate computation using modern IT technology
