We study the QCD scattering amplitudes for \bar{q}q \to gg and \bar{q}q \to ggg where q is a massive fermion. Using a particular choice of massive fermion spinor we are able to derive very compact expressions for the partial spin amplitudes for the 2 \to 2 process. We then investigate the corresponding 2 \to 3 amplitudes using the BCFW recursion technique. For the helicity conserving partial amplitudes we again derive very compact expressions, but were unable to treat the helicity-flip amplitudes recursively, except for the case where all the gluon helicities are the same. We therefore evaluate the remaining partial amplitudes using standard Feynman diagram techniques.

On-shell recursion relations for higher-spin Compton amplitudes
The all-line transverse shift makes four-point electromagnetic and gravitational Compton amplitudes on-shell constructible for massive spin s≤3/2 and s≤5/2, respectively, starting from minimal three-point amplitudes.
