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

Scattering amplitudes with massive fermions using BCFW recursion
K.J. Ozeren,W. J. Stirling +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived very compact expressions for the partial spin amplitudes for the 2-to-2 process using the BCFW recursion technique, but were unable to treat the helicity-flip amplitudes recursively, except for the case where all gluon helicities are the same.
