In this article we present a neural network based model to emulate matrix elements. This model improves on existing methods by taking advantage of the known factorisation properties of ...matrix elements. In doing so we can control the behaviour of simulated matrix elements when extrapolating into more singular regions than the ones used for training the neural network. We apply our model to the case of leading-order jet production in

collisions with up to five jets. Our results show that this model can reproduce the matrix elements with errors below the one-percent level on the phase-space covered during fitting and testing, and a robust extrapolation to the parts of the phase-space where the matrix elements are more singular than seen at the fitting stage.
In this paper, we present an implementation of the harmonic polylogarithm of Remiddi and Vermaseren E. Remiddi, J.A.M. Vermaseren, Int. J. Modern Phys. A 15 (2000) 725,
hep-ph/9905237 for ...Mathematica. It contains an implementation of the product algebra, the derivative properties, series expansion and numerical evaluation. The analytic continuation has been treated carefully, allowing the user to keep the control over the definition of the sign of the imaginary parts. Many options enables the user to adapt the behavior of the package to his specific problem.

In this article we present an emulation strategy for one-loop matrix elements. This strategy is based on the factorisation properties of matrix elements and is an extension of the work ...presented in 1. We show that a percent-level accuracy can be achieved even for large multiplicity processes. The point accuracy obtained is such that it dwarfs the statistical accuracy of the training sample which allows us to use our model to augment the size of the training set by orders of magnitude without additional evaluations of expensive one-loop matrix elements.

In this article we present a method for automatic integration of parametric integrals over the unit hypercube using a neural network. The method fits a neural network to the primitive of ...the integrand using a loss function designed to minimize the difference between multiple derivatives of the network and the function to be integrated. We apply this method to two example integrals resulting from the sector decomposition of a one-loop and two-loop scalar integrals. Our method can achieve per-mil and percent accuracy for these integrals over a range of invariant values. Once the neural network is fitted, the evaluation of the integral is between 40 and 125 times faster than the usual numerical integration method for our examples, and we expect the speed gain to increase with the complexity of the integrand.
We present the

z and unit argument. We also implemented new classes of integrals that appear in the first method and that are, in part, yet unknown to
Mathematica.

In this paper we present the package S@M (Spinors@Mathematica) which implements the spinor-helicity formalism in Mathematica. The package allows the use of complex-spinor algebra along with the ...multi-purpose features of Mathematica. The package defines the spinor objects with their basic properties along with functions to manipulate them. It also offers the possibility of evaluating the spinorial objects numerically at every computational step. The package is therefore well suited to be used in the context of on-shell technology, in particular for the evaluation of scattering amplitudes at tree- and loop-level.

Signatures with an electroweak vector boson and many jets play a crucial role at the Large Hadron Collider, both in the measurement of Standard-Model parameters and in searches for new physics. ...Precise predictions for these multiscale processes are therefore indispensable. We present next-to-leading order QCD predictions for W±/Z+jets at s=13 TeV, including up to five/four jets in the final state. All production channels are included, and leptonic decays of the vector bosons are considered at the amplitude level. We assess theoretical uncertainties arising from renormalization- and factorization-scale dependence by considering fixed-order dynamical scales based on the HT variable as well as on the MiNLO procedure. We also explore uncertainties associated with different choices of parton-distribution functions. We provide event samples that can be explored through publicly available n-tuple sets, generated with BlackHat in combination with Sherpa.
In this Letter we continue the calculation of master integrals for massless three-loop form factors by giving analytical results for those integrals which are relevant for the fermionic contributions ...proportional to NF2, NF⋅N, and NF/N. Working in dimensional regularisation, we express one of the integrals in a closed form which is exact to all orders in ϵ, containing Γ-functions and hypergeometric functions of unit argument. In all other cases we derive multiple Mellin–Barnes representations from which the coefficients of the Laurent expansion in ϵ are extracted in an analytical form. To obtain the finite part of the three-loop quark and gluon form factors, all coefficients through transcendentality six in the Riemann ζ-function have to be included.
