Laurent series expansion of a class of massive scalar one-loop integrals to O ( ε 2 )
We use dimensional regularization to calculate the O({epsilon}{sup 2}) expansion of all scalar one-loop one-, two-, three-, and four-point integrals that are needed in the calculation of hadronic heavy quark production. The Laurent series up to O({epsilon}{sup 2}) is needed as input to that part of...

Zusammenfassung: | We use dimensional regularization to calculate the O({epsilon}{sup 2}) expansion of all scalar one-loop one-, two-, three-, and four-point integrals that are needed in the calculation of hadronic heavy quark production. The Laurent series up to O({epsilon}{sup 2}) is needed as input to that part of the next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to heavy flavor production at hadron colliders where the one-loop integrals appear in the loop-by-loop contributions. The four-point integrals are the most complicated. The O({epsilon}{sup 2}) expansion of the three- and four-point integrals contains in general polylogarithms up to Li{sub 4} and functions related to multiple polylogarithms of maximal weight and depth four. |
