Analytic One-loop Scattering Waveform in General Relativity

Abstract

Leveraging the computational framework presented in reference [JHEP 07, 062 (2024)], we evaluate the analytic scattering waveform in General Relativity to second order, $G^3 M^3 /r b^2$ and to all orders in velocity. This new representation of the next-to-leading order waveform is well-suited for numerical evaluation. Integrating the [modulus square of the] waveform over the angles on the celestial sphere, we also compute the power spectrum of the radiation to order $G^4$ numerically.
