Numerical evaluation of NLO multiparton processes
  We discuss an algorithm for the numerical evaluation of NLO multiparton processes. We focus hereby on the virtual part of the NLO calculation, i.e. on evaluating the one-loop integration numerically. We employ and extend the ideas of the subtraction method to the virtual part and we use subtraction terms for the soft, collinear and ultraviolet regions, which allows us to evaluate the loop integral numerically in four dimensions. A second ingredient is a method to deform the integration contour of the loop integration into the complex plane. The algorithm is derived on the level of the primitive amplitudes, where we utilise recursive relations to generate the corresponding one-loop off-shell currents. We discuss the numerical behavior of the approach and the application to the leading colour contribution in e+ e- --> n jets, with n up to seven.
