TLDR
In this paper, the authors presented a technique which utilizes unitarity and collinear limits to construct ansatze for one-loop amplitudes in gauge theory, and proved that their $N=4$ ansatz is correct using general properties of the relevant one-loops $n$-point integrals.Abstract:
We present a technique which utilizes unitarity and collinear limits to construct ansatze for one-loop amplitudes in gauge theory. As an example, we obtain the one-loop contribution to amplitudes for $n$ gluon scattering in $N=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the helicity configuration of the Parke-Taylor tree amplitudes. We prove that our $N=4$ ansatz is correct using general properties of the relevant one-loop $n$-point integrals. We also give the ``splitting amplitudes'' which govern the collinear behavior of one-loop helicity amplitudes in gauge theories.read more

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to ttbb production at the LHC
TL;DR: In this article, the results from an NLO computation of the production of ttbb in hadronic collisions were summarized by combining two programs: Helac-1Loop, based on the OPP method and the reduction code CutTools, for the virtual one-loop matrix elements and HelacDipoles for real-emission contributions.

Applications of Subleading-color Amplitudes in N=4 SYM Theory
TL;DR: In this article, a number of features and applications of subleading color amplitudes of N = 4 SYM theory are reviewed. But the IR divergences of the subleading-color amplitudes, the relationships of N=4 SYM theories to N = 8 supergravity, and geometric interpretations of one-loop subleading colour and N^k MHV amplitudes are discussed.
