Description

The physics of high-energy collider experiments asks for delicate comparisons between theoretical predictions and experimental data. Signals and potential backgrounds for new physics have to be predicted at sufficient accuracy. The accuracy as well as the computational complexity of the calculations leading to the predictions depend on both the number of external particles in the process analyzed and the order of the quantum corrections, the number of loops, included in the calculation. We present some approaches to problems occurring in these calculations regarding the integration of phase-space and the inclusion of one-loop corrections. (author)
