 2017-06-1913:43 [PUBDB-2017-05452] Report/Journal Article Vogt, A. On ${\gamma }_{5}$ in higher-order QCD calculations and the NNLO evolution of the polarized valence distribution [DESY-15-061; NIKHEF-15-018; LTH-1042; arXiv:1506.04517] Physics letters / B 748, 432 - 438 (2015) [10.1016/j.physletb.2015.07.027]   We discuss the prescription for the Dirac matrix ${\gamma }_{5}$ in dimensional regularization used in most second- and third-order QCD calculations of collider cross sections. We provide an alternative implementation of this approach that avoids the use of an explicit form of ${\gamma }_{5}$ and of its (anti-) commutation relations in the most important case of no more than one ${\gamma }_{5}$ in each fermion trace.

Besides the heavy quark pair production, also the single heavy flavor excitation $s \rightarrow c$ contributes.

Refined Holonomic Summation Algorithms in Particle Physics [DESY-17-087; DO-TH-17-09; arXiv:1706.03677]   An improved multi-summation approach is introduced and discussed that enables one to simultaneously handle indefinite nested sums and products in the setting of difference rings and holonomic sequences. Relevant mathematics is reviewed and the underlying advanced difference ring machinery is elaborated upon. [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2017-06-0613:38 [PUBDB-2017-04322] Report/Journal Article Schneider, C. The method of arbitrarily large moments to calculate single scale processes in quantum field theory [DESY-17-009; DO-TH 17-01; arXiv:1701.04614] Physics letters / B 771, 31 - 36 (2017) [10.1016/j.physletb.2017.05.001]   We device a new method to calculate a large number of Mellin moments of single scale quantities using the systems of differential and/or difference equations obtained by integration-by-parts identities between the corresponding Feynman integrals of loop corrections to physical quantities. These scalar quantities have a much simpler mathematical structure than the complete quantity.

In the case of the charm and bottom quarks, the usual decoupling of one heavy mass at a time no longer holds, since the ratio of the respective masses, $\eta = m_c^2/m_b^2 \sim 1/10$, is not small enough. [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2017-06-0611:38 [PUBDB-2017-04273] Preprint/Report et al Iterated Elliptic and Hypergeometric Integrals for Feynman Diagrams [DESY-16-147; DO-TH-16-14; arXiv:1706.01299]   We calculate 3-loop master integrals for heavy quark correlators and the 3-loop QCD corrections to the $\rho$-parameter. They obey non-factorizing differential equations of second order with more than three singularities, which cannot be factorized in Mellin-$N$ space either.

Together with previously published results on the quark mass and -field anomalous dimensions and the Beta function, this completes the 5-loop renormalization program of gauge theories in that gauge..

Muon $g - 2$ Theory: the Hadronic Part [DESY-17-058; HU-EP-17-12; arXiv:1705.00263]   I present a status report of the hadronic vacuum polarization effects for the muon $g-2$, to be considered as an update of [1]. The update concerns recent new inclusive $R$ measurements from KEDR in the energy range 1.84 to 3.72 GeV.

While we calculate $P_{gg}^{(2,\rm N_F)}(x)$ directly, $P_{qg}^{(2)}(x)$is computed from 973 even moments, without any structural prejudice, using a hierarchy ofrecurrences obtained for the corresponding operator matrix element.
