Constructing Gauge Theory Amplitudes
Ruth Britto
(Amsterdam)
Abstract
Gauge theory amplitudes lie at the meeting ground of perturbative QCD and
twistor string theory. The past three years have seen dramatic
developments in the analytic computation of amplitudes and their
interpretation in twistor space geometry. I will discuss applications to
collider experiments and describe direct, systematic procedures for deriving
one-loop amplitudes from tree amplitudes, using new insights regarding
unitarity.
