Plenary 3. Computation in Theoretical Physics Wednesday, 05 November 2008

Speaker

Dr Thomas Binoth (University of Edinburgh)

Description

In this talk I will motivate that a succesful descripton of LHC physics needs the inclusion of higher order corrections for all kinds of signal and background processes. In the case of multi-particle production the combinatorial complexity of standard approaches triggered many new developments which allow for the efficient evaluation of one-loop amplitudes for LHC phenomenology. I will discuss the basic new ideas for one-loop multi-leg computations including comments on computational issues and will review recent results relevant for LHC phenomenology.
