| Summary: | We examine recent developments in perturbative calculations of gauge theory amplitudes.
Motivated by a twistor space analysis, Cachazo, Svrcek and Witten (CSW) formulated a
new set of rules for computing scattering amplitudes, which have now been dubbed the
CSW rules. We examine the origins of these rules, and apply them to supersymmetric and
non-supersymmetric gauge theories. We review many of the recent calculations performed
using this new prescription at both the tree and one-loop levels. === Science, Faculty of === Physics and Astronomy, Department of === Graduate |
