One-Loop Gauge Theory Amplitudes with an Arbitrary Number of External Legs

Abstract

We review recent progress in calculations of one-loop QCD amplitudes. By imposing the consistency requirements of unitarity and correct behavior as the momenta of two legs become collinear, we construct ansatze for one-loop amplitudes with an arbitrary number of external legs. For supersymmetric amplitudes, which can be thought of as components of QCD amplitudes, the cuts uniquely specify the amplitude.
