Two-loop Feynman integrals for single top production at NNLO

Providing higher order QCD corrections to the hadronic production of top quarks at the LHC is an important step towards obtaining a more detailed understanding of electroweak symmetry breaking, due to the fact that top quarks receive their mass through interactions with the Higgs background field. Single top production is one of the most prominent top quark production channels at the LHC, with the t-channel process, which involves the production of a single top quark mediated by an exchange of a W boson, accounting for 70% of all single top quarks produced at LHC collisions. Recently, NNLO corrections to the so-called non-factorisable contributions to the single top t-channel were computed. The calculation was performed by calculating all the relevant 2-loop Feynman integrals numerically. It will be the aim of this project to provide an efficient analytic representation of these integrals in terms of special functions (e.g. multiple polylogarithms), by employing modern methods of multiloop calculations such as integration-by-part identities, canonical differential equations and the study of the relevant special functions.
