Description

I present recent progress in the calculation of the master integrals for the five-point amplitude at two loops in QCD, which is a crucial contribution to computation of the the next-to-next-to-leading order cross section for three-jet production at the LHC. After a brief review of the differenential-equation method for evaluating Feynman integrals, I will discuss its application to compute the two-loop planar five point Feynman integrals in QCD, the determination of the boundary values and first physical applications.
