We derive general tree-level recursion relations for amplitudes which include massive propagating particles. As an illustration, we apply these recursion relations to scattering amplitudes of gluons coupled to massive scalars. We provide new results for all amplitudes with a pair of scalars and n < 5 gluons. These amplitudes can be used as building blocks in the computation of one-loop 6-gluon amplitudes using unitarity based methods.

Perturbative construction of amplitudes from on-shell trees with vacuum pairs: the all-plus four-gluon amplitude through order $\boldsymbol{g}^{\boldsymbol{6}}$
An on-shell construction using BCFW trees plus vacuum-pair phase-space integrals with inclusion-exclusion signs reproduces the known one- and two-loop all-plus four-gluon amplitudes.
