Description
Scattering amplitudes are useful for computing many quantities in gravitational wave physics. In this talk I I will discuss the determination of gravitational waveforms in scattering encounters at LO and NLO in the post-Minkowskian expansion. I will explain some of the methods which can be used to simplify the calculation, and comment on links to more classical methods.
