Towards systematic near-threshold calculations in perturbative QFT

Abstract

For any near-threshold asymptotic regime and for any Feynman diagram (involving loop and/or phase space integrals), a systematic prescription for explicitly constructing all-logs, all-powers (all-twists) expansions in perfectly factorized form with explicit integrals for coefficients, is presented. The distribution-theoretic nature of the method of asymptotic operation employed allows treatment of totally exclusive phase space in the same manner as loop integrals.
