Applications of the loop-tree duality
  We describe a new method to perform NLO calculations, combining real and virtual amplitudes at the integrand level, with a fully local compensation between them in the IR, and between the virtual integrand and properly defined counter-terms in the UV, in such a way that physical observables can be computed in 4 dimensions. One of the advantages of the method is that all the scattering amplitudes are integrated simultaneously, without the need for tensor reduction, or projection onto sets of master integrals. As such, it could offer great progress in the automation of NLO calculations, where the actual bottle-necks are the complexity of the analytical calculations for multi-leg processes, and the numerical stability of the result.
