David Kosower
Description
I will present a brief introduction to modern methods for computing scattering amplitudes. I will cover the basics of spinor kinematics and construction of three-point amplitudes. I will also discuss color decomposition. I will discussion factorization and present the Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten on-shell recursion relations. Time permitting, I will also present a brief glimpse of the unitarity method.
