Loops and legs beyond perturbation theory

Abstract

Within the non-perturbative 1/N expansion, we discuss numerical methods for calculating multi-loop Feynman graph needed to derive physical scattering amplitudes. We apply higher order 1/N methods to the scalar sector of the standard model, and show the existence of a mass saturation effect. The mass saturation has direct implications for future searches at the LHC and at possible muon colliders.
