abstract
Virtual two-loop corrections to scattering amplitudes are a key ingredient to precision physics at collider experiments. We compute the full set of planar master integrals relevant to five-point functions in massless QCD, and use these to derive an analytical expression for the two-loop five-gluon all-plus-helicity amplitude. After subtracting terms that are related to the universal infrared and ultraviolet pole structure, we obtain a remarkably simple and compact finite remainder function, consisting only of dilogarithms.

Leading-colour two-loop virtual amplitudes for ttbar+jet are extracted analytically via finite-field evaluations and differential equations, then packaged in a C++ library with new numerical integration techniques.
First numerical evaluation of planar two-loop helicity amplitudes for W-boson plus four partons using finite-field reduction and sector decomposition on a subset of master integrals.
Local subtraction reduces pseudo-evanescent Feynman integrals to products of one-loop integrals or one-fold integrals, with the finite part of the two-loop all-plus five-point amplitude arising solely from ultraviolet regions after infrared cancellations.
The paper decomposes two-loop Yang-Mills gluon amplitudes into color structures via trace and structure-constant bases and organizes relations between the resulting partial amplitudes.
The report reviews progress since 2021 in fixed-order computations for LHC applications and identifies processes requiring missing higher-order corrections to match anticipated experimental precision.
