Massive Feynman integrals and electroweak corrections

Abstract

There are steady advances in the calculation of electroweak corrections to massive scattering problems at colliders, from the very beginning in the nineteen seventies until contemporary developments. Recent years brought a remarkable progress due to new calculational technologies. This was motivated by demands from phenomenological applications at particle accelerators: higher multiplicities of the final states, extreme kinematics, need of higher precision and thus of higher orders in perturbation theory. We describe selected contributions from the project "Massive particle production" of Sonderforschungsbereich/Transregio 9 of Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
