Calculating off-shell one-loop amplitudes for $k_T$-dependent factorization: a proof of concept

Abstract

A method to define and calculate one-loop amplitudes with an off-shell space-like, or $k_T$-dependent, gluon is presented. It introduces a practical regularization to deal with the divergencies that appear due to linear denominators, and can be applied to arbitarary partonic scattering processes.
