Twistor inspired techniques for gauge theory amplitudes

Twistor inspired techniques for gauge theory amplitudes

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 th...
