Analytic approximations of $2\to 2$ processes with massive internal particles

Abstract

We consider two-loop corrections to $2\to 2$ scattering processes with massive particles in the final state and massive particles in the loop. We discuss the combination of analytic expansions in the high-energy limit and for small Mandelstam variable~$t$. For the example of double Higgs boson production we show that the whole phase space can be covered and time-consuming numerical integrations can be avoided.
