Full one-loop amplitudes from tree amplitudes. (English) Zbl 1246.81170

Summary: We establish an efficient polynomial-complexity algorithm for one-loop calculations, based on generalized \(D\)-dimensional unitarity. It allows automated computations of both cut-constructible and rational parts of one-loop scattering amplitudes from on-shell tree amplitudes. We illustrate the method by (re)-computing all four-, five- and six-gluon scattering amplitudes in QCD at one-loop.
