Description

Construction of a QCD cascade at the NLO level requires recalculation of the splitting functions in a different manner. We describe the calculation of some of the virtual contributions to the non-singlet splitting function. In order to be compatible with the earlier calculated real contributions, the principal value prescription for regularizing the infrared singularities must be used in a new way. We illustrate this new scheme on simple examples. For the calculations, we wrote a Mathematica package called Axiloop. We describe its current status.
