Two-loop QCD corrections to the vector form factors for the heavy-quark photo-production

Abstract

We review on the calculation of the heavy-quark photo-production vector form factors, with the full dependence on the mass of the heavy-quark. The Feynman diagrams are evaluated within the dimensional regularization scheme and expressed in Laurent series of $ε=(4-D)/2$, where $D$ is the space-time dimension. The coefficients of the expansion are expressed in terms of harmonic polylogarithms. The numerical evaluation of the analytical formulas and the threshold limit of our results are presented.
