| Summary: | In this paper, we elaborate on a method to decompose multiloop multileg scattering amplitudes into Lorentz-invariant form factors, which exploits the simplifications that arise from considering four-dimensional external states. We propose a simple and general approach that applies to both fermionic and bosonic amplitudes and allows us to identify a minimal number of physically relevant form factors, which can be related one to one to the independent helicity amplitudes. We discuss explicitly its applicability to various four- and five-point scattering amplitudes relevant for LHC physics. |
