Numerical evaluation of multi-gluon amplitudes for High Energy Factorization

Abstract
We present a program to evaluate tree-level multi-gluon amplitudes with up to two of them off-shell. Furthermore, it evaluates squared amplitudes summed over colors and helicities for up to six external gluons. It employs both analytic expressions, obtained via BCFW recursion, and numerical BCFW recursion. It has been validated numerically with the help of an independent program employing numerical Dyson–Schwinger recursion.

Title of program: AMP4HEF
Catalogue Id: AEXF_v1_0

Nature of problem
The numerical evaluation of matrix elements applicable in factorization prescriptions for the cross section calculation of hadron scattering processes that require off-shell partonic initial states.
