Abstract

We provide tools to analyze factorization at the amplitude level for processes involving the entire standard model. We focus in particular on a momentum region, in which the factorization of real and certain virtual corrections appears in a generalized eikonal approximation in which we expand around a quasisoft limit for massive gauge bosons, fermions, and scalars. We use the chirality-flow formalism to express loop exchanges or emissions as operators on chiral structures. This provides key tools for amplitude evolution with parton exchange and branching in the full Standard Model, including the electroweak sector.
