A Rederivation of the Spin-dependent Next-to-leading Order Splitting Functions

Abstract

We perform a new calculation of the polarized next-to-leading order splitting functions, using the method developed by Curci, Furmanski and Petronzio. We confirm the results of the recent calculation by Mertig and van Neerven.
