Two-loop amplitudes for e+ e- -> q qbar g: the nf-contribution

Abstract

We discuss the calculation of the nf-contributions to the two-loop amplitude for e+ e- -> q qbar g. The calculation uses an efficient method based on nested sums. The result is presented in terms of multiple polylogarithms with simple arguments, which allow for analytic continuation in a straightforward manner.
