Leading-Color Two-Loop Amplitudes for Four Partons and a W-Boson in QCD
I will present the leading-color two-loop QCD corrections for the scattering of four partons and a W boson, including its leptonic decay. The amplitudes are assembled from the planar two-loop helicity amplitudes for four partons and a vector boson decaying to a lepton pair. The analytic expressions are obtained by setting up a dedicated Ansatz and constraining the free parameters from numerical samples obtained within the framework of numerical unitarity. Our results are expressed in a basis of one-mass pentagon functions, which opens the possibility of their efficient numerical evaluation.
