Description
We present the analytic calculation of the Master Integrals for certain two-loop, non-planar topologies that enter the calculation of the amplitude for top-quark pair hadroproduction in the quark-annihilation channel. These Master Integrals are needed to complete the evaluation of the two color factors in the quark-annihilation channel which are not yet known analytically at two-loop. We compute the Master Integrals using the method of differential equations in canonical form. The solution is given as a series expansion in the dimensional regularisation parameter through to weight four, the expansion coefficients are given in terms of generalized harmonic polylogarithms of two dimensionless variables.
