\section{Currents}
\label{sec:currents_impl}
The following section contains a list of all the currents implemented
in \HEJ. Clean up of the code structure is ongoing. All $W$+Jet
currents are located in \texttt{src/Wjets.cc}, all Higgs+Jets currents
are defined in \texttt{src/Hjets.cc}, Z/$\gamma$ + Jet currents are in
\texttt{src/Zjets.cc} and pure jet currents are defined in in
\texttt{src/jets.cc}. All of these have their own separate header
files: \texttt{include/HEJ/Wjets.hh}, \texttt{include/HEJ/Hjets.hh},
\texttt{include/HEJ/Zjets.hh} and \texttt{include/HEJ/jets.hh}
respectively.
The naming convention for the current contraction $\left\|S_{f_1 f_2\to f_1
f_2}\right\|^2$ is \lstinline!ME_[Boson]_[subleading-type]_[incoming]!. For
example \lstinline!ME_W_unob_qq! corresponds to the contraction $j_W^\mu
j_{\text{uno}, \mu}$ ($qQ\to \bar{q}WQg$). For bosons on the same side as the
subleading we drop the connecting underscore, e.g. \lstinline!ME_Wuno_qq!
gives $j_{W,\text{uno}}^\mu j_\mu$ ($qQ\to g\bar{q}WQ$).
\subsection{Pure Jets}
\subsubsection{Quark}
\label{sec:current_quark}
\begin{align}
j_\mu(p_i,p_j)=\bar{u}(p_i)\gamma_\mu u(p_j)
\end{align}
-The exact for depends on the helicity and direction (forward/backwards) for the quarks. Currently all different contractions of incoming and outgoing states are defined in \lstinline!joi!, \lstinline!jio! and \lstinline!joo!.
+The exact form depends on the helicity and direction (forward/backwards) for the quarks.
\subsubsection{Gluon}
In \HEJ the currents for gluons and quarks are the same, up to a colour factor $K_g/C_F$, where
\begin{align}
K_g(p_1^-, p_a^-) = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{p_1^-}{p_a^-} + \frac{p_a^-}{p_1^-}\right)\left(C_A -
\frac{1}{C_A}\right)+\frac{1}{C_A}.
\end{align}
Thus we can just reuse the results from sec.~\ref{sec:current_quark}.
\subsubsection{Single unordered gluon}
Configuration $q(p_a) \to g(p_1) q(p_2) g^*(\tilde{q}_2)$~\cite{Andersen:2017kfc}
\begin{align}
\label{eq:juno}
\begin{split}
&j^{{\rm uno}\; \mu\ cd}(p_2,p_1,p_a) = i \varepsilon_{1\nu} \left( T_{2i}^{c}T_{ia}^d\
\left(U_1^{\mu\nu}-L^{\mu\nu} \right) + T_{2i}^{d}T_{ia}^c\ \left(U_2^{\mu\nu} +
L^{\mu\nu} \right) \right). \\
U_1^{\mu\nu} &= \frac1{s_{21}} \left( j_{21}^\nu j_{1a}^\mu + 2 p_2^\nu
j_{2a}^\mu \right) \qquad \qquad U_2^{\mu\nu} = \frac1{t_{a1}} \left( 2
j_{2a}^\mu p_a^\nu - j_{21}^\mu j_{1a}^\nu \right) \\
L^{\mu\nu} &= \frac1{t_{a2}} \left(-2p_1^\mu j_{2a}^\nu+2p_1.j_{2a}
g^{\mu\nu} + (\tilde{q}_1+\tilde{q}_2)^\nu j_{2a}^\mu + \frac{t_{b2}}{2} j_{2a}^\mu \left(
\frac{p_2^\nu}{p_1.p_2} + \frac{p_b^\nu}{p_1.p_b} \right) \right) ,
\end{split}
\end{align}
$j^{{\rm uno}\; \mu}$ is currently not calculated as a separate current, but always as needed for the ME (i.e. in \lstinline!ME_unob_XX!).
\subsubsection{Extremal \texorpdfstring{$q\bar{q}$}{qqx}}
In Pure jets we also include the subleading process which arises when
an incoming gluon splits into a $q\bar{q}$ pair. This splitting impact
factor is related to the unordered current by simple means of a
crossing symmetry.
\subsubsection{Central \texorpdfstring{$q\bar{q}$}{qqx}}
The final subleading process type in the Pure Jets case is Central
$q\bar{q}$. In this process type, we have two currents scattering off
of each other, but this time, via an effective vertex, which connects
together two FKL chains. Each FKL chain t-channel gluon splits into a
$q\bar{q}$ and this results in a quark and anti-quark in between the
most forward and backward jets. One can see an example of such a
process in Figure \ref{fig:qqbarcen_example}.
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\includegraphics[]{Cenqqbar_jx}
\caption{Momentum labeling for a central $q\bar{q}$ process.}
\label{fig:qqbarcen_example}
\end{figure}
As the new central $q\bar{q}$ piece contains the quark propagator, we will treat
this as part of the skeleton process. This means that we do not impose strong ordering
between the $q\bar{q}$-pair taking
\begin{align}
\label{eq:cenqqbarraporder}
y_1 \ll y_q,y_{\bar{q}} \ll y_n.
\end{align}
The HEJ Matrix element for this process can be calculated as:
\begin{align}
\label{eq:Mcentral}
i\mathcal{M} &= g_s^4 T^d_{1a} T^e_{nb}\ \frac{j_{\mu}(p_a,p_1)\ X^{ab\, \mu
\nu}_{{\rm cen}}(p_q,p_{\bar{q}},q_1,q_3)\
j_{\nu}(p_b,p_n)}{t_{a1}t_{bn}}.
\end{align}
where $X^{\mu \nu}_{\rm cen}$ is given by:
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:Xcen}
\begin{split}
X^{\mu \nu}_{\rm cen} ={}&\frac{f^{ced}T^c_{q\bar{q}}}{s_{q\bar{q}}}
\left(\eta^{\mu \nu} X_{sym}^\sigma + V^{\mu \nu \sigma}_{\bar{q}g} \right)
\bar{u}(p_q) \gamma^\sigma u(p_{\bar{q}}) \\ & \qquad + \frac{i
T^d_{qj}T^e_{j\bar{q}}}{(q_1-p_q)^2} X^{\mu\nu}_{\text{qprop}} - \frac{i
T^e_{qj}T^d_{j\bar{q}}}{(q_1-p_{\bar{q}})^2} X^{\mu\nu}_{\text{crossed}}\,,
\end{split}
\end{equation}
with
\begin{align}
\label{eq:Xsym}
X_{sym}^\sigma ={}& q_1^2 \left(
\frac{p_a^\sigma}{s_{aq} + s_{a\bar{q}}} + \frac{p_1^\sigma}{s_{1q} + s_{1\bar{q}}}
\right) - q_3^2 \left(
\frac{p_b^\sigma}{s_{bq} + s_{b\bar{q}}} + \frac{p_n^\sigma}{s_{nq} + s_{n\bar{q}}}
\right)\,,\\
\label{eq:V3g}
V_{3g}^{\mu\nu\sigma} ={}& (q_1 + p_q + p_{\bar{q}})^\nu \eta^{\mu\sigma}
+ (q_3 - p_q - p_{\bar{q}})^\mu \eta^{\nu\sigma}
- (q_1 + q_3)^\sigma \eta^{\mu\nu}\,,\\
\label{eq:Xqprop}
X^{\mu\nu}_{\text{qprop}} ={}& \frac{\langle p_q | \mu (q_1-p_q) \nu | p_{\bar{q}}\rangle}{(q_1-p_q)^2}\,,\\
\label{eq:Xcrossed}
X^{\mu\nu}_{\text{crossed}} ={}& \frac{\langle p_q | \nu (q_1-p_{\bar{q}}) \mu | p_{\bar{q}}\rangle}{(q_1-p_{\bar{q}})^2}\,,
\end{align}
and $q_3 = q_1 - p_q - p_{\bar{q}}$.
\subsection{Higgs}
Different rapidity orderings \todo{give name of functions}
\begin{enumerate}
\item $qQ\to HqQ/qHQ/qQH$ (any rapidity order, full LO ME) $\Rightarrow$ see~\ref{sec:V_H}
\item $qg\to Hqg$ (Higgs outside quark) $\Rightarrow$ see~\ref{sec:V_H}
\item $qg\to qHg$ (central Higgs) $\Rightarrow$ see~\ref{sec:V_H}
\item $qg\to qgH$ (Higgs outside gluon) $\Rightarrow$ see~\ref{sec:jH_mt}
\item $gg\to gHg$ (central Higgs) $\Rightarrow$ see~\ref{sec:V_H}
\item $gg\to ggH$ (Higgs outside gluon) $\Rightarrow$ see~\ref{sec:jH_mt}
\end{enumerate}
\subsubsection{Higgs gluon vertex}
\label{sec:V_H}
The coupling of the Higgs boson to gluons via a virtual quark loop can be written as
\begin{align}
\label{eq:VH}
V^{\mu\nu}_H(q_1, q_2) = \mathgraphics{V_H.pdf} &=
\frac{\alpha_s m^2}{\pi v}\big[
g^{\mu\nu} T_1(q_1, q_2) - q_2^\mu q_1^\nu T_2(q_1, q_2)
\big]\, \\
&\xrightarrow{m \to \infty} \frac{\alpha_s}{3\pi
v} \left(g^{\mu\nu} q_1\cdot q_2 - q_2^\mu q_1^\nu\right).
\end{align}
The outgoing momentum of the Higgs boson is $p_H = q_1 - q_2$.
As a contraction with two currents this by implemented in \lstinline!cHdot! inside \texttt{src/Hjets.cc}.
The form factors $T_1$ and $T_2$ are then given by~\cite{DelDuca:2003ba}
\begin{align}
\label{eq:T_1}
T_1(q_1, q_2) ={}& -C_0(q_1, q_2)\*\left[2\*m^2+\frac{1}{2}\*\left(q_1^2+q_2^2-p_H^2\right)+\frac{2\*q_1^2\*q_2^2\*p_H^2}{\lambda}\right]\notag\\
&-\left[B_0(q_2)-B_0(p_H)\right]\*\frac{q_2^2}{\lambda}\*\left(q_2^2-q_1^2-p_H^2\right)\notag\\
&-\left[B_0(q_1)-B_0(p_H)\right]\*\frac{q_1^2}{\lambda}\*\left(q_1^2-q_2^2-p_H^2\right)-1\,,\displaybreak[0]\\
\label{eq:T_2}
T_2(q_1, q_2) ={}& C_0(q_1,
q_2)\*\left[\frac{4\*m^2}{\lambda}\*\left(p_H^2-q_1^2-q_2^2\right)-1-\frac{4\*q_1^2\*q_2^2}{\lambda}
-
\frac{12\*q_1^2\*q_2^2\*p_H^2}{\lambda^2}\*\left(q_1^2+q_2^2-p_H^2\right)\right]\notag\\
&-\left[B_0(q_2)-B_0(p_H)\right]\*\left[\frac{2\*q_2^2}{\lambda}+\frac{12\*q_1^2\*q_2^2}{\lambda^2}\*\left(q_2^2-q_1^2+p_H^2\right)\right]\notag\\
&-\left[B_0(q_1)-B_0(p_H)\right]\*\left[\frac{2\*q_1^2}{\lambda}+\frac{12\*q_1^2\*q_2^2}{\lambda^2}\*\left(q_1^2-q_2^2+p_H^2\right)\right]\notag\\
&-\frac{2}{\lambda}\*\left(q_1^2+q_2^2-p_H^2\right)\,,
\end{align}
where we have used the scalar bubble and triangle integrals
\begin{align}
\label{eq:B0}
B_0\left(p\right) ={}& \int \frac{d^dl}{i\pi^{\frac{d}{2}}}
\frac{1}{\left(l^2-m^2\right)\left((l+p)^2-m^2\right)}\,,\\
\label{eq:C0}
C_0\left(p,q\right) ={}& \int \frac{d^dl}{i\pi^{\frac{d}{2}}} \frac{1}{\left(l^2-m^2\right)\left((l+p)^2-m^2\right)\left((l+p-q)^2-m^2\right)}\,,
\end{align}
and the K\"{a}ll\'{e}n function
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:lambda}
\lambda = q_1^4 + q_2^4 + p_H^4 - 2\*q_1^2\*q_2^2 - 2\*q_1^2\*p_H^2- 2\*q_2^2\*p_H^2\,.
\end{equation}
The Integrals as such are provided by \QCDloop{} (see wrapper functions \lstinline!B0DD! and \lstinline!C0DD! in \texttt{src/Hjets.cc}).
In the code we are sticking to the convention of~\cite{DelDuca:2003ba}, thus instead of the $T_{1/2}$ we implement (in the functions \lstinline!A1! and \lstinline!A2!)
\begin{align}
\label{eq:A_1}
A_1(q_1, q_2) ={}& \frac{i}{16\pi^2}\*T_2(-q_1, q_2)\,,\\
\label{eq:A_2}
A_2(q_1, q_2) ={}& -\frac{i}{16\pi^2}\*T_1(-q_1, q_2)\,.
\end{align}
\subsubsection{Peripheral Higgs emission - Finite quark mass}
\label{sec:jH_mt}
We describe the emission of a peripheral Higgs boson close to a
scattering gluon with an effective current. In the following we consider
a lightcone decomposition of the gluon momenta, i.e. $p^\pm = E \pm p_z$
and $p_\perp = p_x + i p_y$. The incoming gluon momentum $p_a$ defines
the $-$ direction, so that $p_a^+ = p_{a\perp} = 0$. The outgoing
momenta are $p_1$ for the gluon and $p_H$ for the Higgs boson. We choose
the following polarisation vectors
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:pol_vectors}
\epsilon_\mu^\pm(p_a) = \epsilon_\mu^\pm(p_a, p_1),\qquad \epsilon_\mu^\pm(p_1) = \epsilon_\mu^\pm(p_1, p_a)\,.
\end{equation} The polarisation vectors with two momentum arguments
are defined in equation~(\ref{eq:pol_vector}).
Following~\cite{DelDuca:2001fn}, we introduce effective polarisation
vectors to describe the contraction with the Higgs-boson production
vertex eq.~\eqref{eq:VH}:
\begin{align}
\label{eq:eps_H}
\epsilon_{H,\mu}(p_a) = \frac{T_2(p_a, p_a-p_H)}{(p_a-p_H)^2}\big[p_a\cdot
p_H\epsilon_\mu(p_a) - p_H\cdot\epsilon(p_a) p_{a,\mu}\big]\,,\\
\epsilon_{H,\mu}^*(p_1) = -\frac{T_2(p_1+p_H, p_1)}{(p_1+p_H)^2}\big[p_1\cdot
p_H\epsilon_\mu^*(p_1) - p_H\cdot\epsilon^*(p_1) p_{1,\mu}\big]\,,
\end{align}
with $T_1$ from equation~\eqref{eq:T_1} and $T_2$ from equation~\eqref{eq:T_2}.
Without loss of generality, we consider only the case where the incoming
gluon has positive helicity. The remaining helicity configurations can
be obtained through parity transformation.
Labelling the effective current by the helicities of the gluons we obtain
for the same-helicity case
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:jH_same_helicity}
\begin{split}
j_{H,\mu}^{++}{}&(p_1,p_a,p_H) =
\frac{m^2}{\pi v}\bigg[\\
&-\sqrt{\frac{2p_1^-}{p_a^-}}\frac{p_{1\perp}^*}{|p_{1\perp}|}\frac{t_2}{\spb a.1}\epsilon^{+,*}_{H,\mu}(p_1)
+\sqrt{\frac{2p_a^-}{p_1^-}}\frac{p_{1\perp}^*}{|p_{1\perp}|}\frac{t_2}{\spa 1.a}\epsilon^{+}_{H,\mu}(p_a)\\
&+ [1|H|a\rangle \bigg(
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\spa 1.a}\epsilon^{+}_{H,\mu}(p_a)
+ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\spb a.1}\epsilon^{+,*}_{H,\mu}(p_1)-\frac{\spa 1.a T_2(p_a, p_a-p_H)}{\sqrt{2}(p_a-p_H)^2}\epsilon^{+,*}_{\mu}(p_1)\\
&
\qquad
-\frac{\spb a.1 T_2(p_1+p_H,
p_1)}{\sqrt{2}(p_1+p_H)^2}\epsilon^{+}_{\mu}(p_a)-\frac{RH_4}{\sqrt{2}\spb a.1}\epsilon^{+,*}_{\mu}(p_1)+\frac{RH_5}{\sqrt{2}\spa 1.a}\epsilon^{+}_{\mu}(p_a)
\bigg)\\
&
- \frac{[1|H|a\rangle^2}{2 t_1}(p_{a,\mu} RH_{10} - p_{1,\mu} RH_{12})\bigg]
\end{split}
\end{equation}
with $t_1 = (p_a-p_1)^2$, $t_2 = (p_a-p_1-p_H)^2$ and $R = 8 \pi^2$\todo{Code has $R=8\pi^2 i$}. Like other special currents, eq.~\eqref{eq:jH_same_helicity}
is implemented in \texttt{current\_generator/include/currents.frm}.
The currents with a helicity flip is given through
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:jH_helicity_flip}
\begin{split}
j_{H,\mu}^{+-}{}&(p_1,p_a,p_H) =
\frac{m^2}{\pi v}\bigg[\\
&-\sqrt{\frac{2p_1^-}{p_a^-}}\frac{p_{1\perp}^*}{|p_{1\perp}|}\frac{t_2}{\spb
a.1}\epsilon^{-,*}_{H,\mu}(p_1)
+\sqrt{\frac{2p_a^-}{p_1^-}}\frac{p_{1\perp}}{|p_{1\perp}|}\frac{t_2}{\spb a.1}\epsilon^{+}_{H,\mu}(p_a)\\

\\

+\frac{RH_5}{\sqrt{2}\spb a.1}\epsilon^{+}_{\mu}(p_a)
\right)\\
& - \frac{[1|H|a\rangle [a|H|1\rangle}{2 \spb a.1 ^2}(p_{a,\mu} RH_{10} - p_{1,\mu}
RH_{12})\\
&+ \frac{\spa 1.a}{\spb a.1}\bigg(RH_1p_{1,\mu}-RH_2p_{a,\mu}+2
p_1\cdot p_H \frac{T_2(p_1+p_H, p_1)}{(p_1+p_H)^2} p_{a,\mu}
\\
&
\qquad- 2p_a \cdot p_H \frac{T_2(p_a, p_a-p_H)}{(p_a-p_H)^2} p_{1,\mu}+ T_1(p_a-p_1, p_a-p_1-p_H)\frac{(p_1 + p_a)_\mu}{t_1}\\
&\qquad-\frac{(p_1+p_a)\cdot p_H}{t_1} T_2(p_a-p_1, p_a-p_1-p_H)(p_1 - p_a)_\mu
\bigg)
\bigg]\,,
\end{split}
\end{equation}
and implemented again in \texttt{current\_generator/include/currents.frm}.\todo{sign mismatch in line 5 and negative-helicity polarisation vectors}
If we instead choose the gluon momentum in the $+$ direction, so that
$p_a^- = p_{a\perp} = 0$, the corresponding currents are obtained by
replacing $p_1^- \to p_1^+, p_a^- \to p_a^+,
\frac{p_{1\perp}}{|p_{1\perp}|} \to -1$ in the second line of
eq.~\eqref{eq:jH_same_helicity} and eq.~\eqref{eq:jH_helicity_flip}..
The form factors $H_1,H_2,H_4,H_5, H_{10}, H_{12}$ are given in~\cite{DelDuca:2003ba}, and are implemented as \lstinline!H1DD,H2DD! etc. in \texttt{src/Hjets.cc}. They reduce down to fundamental QCD integrals, which are again provided by \QCDloop.
\subsubsection{Peripheral Higgs emission - Infinite top mass}
\label{sec:jH_eff}
To get the result with infinite top mass we could either take the limit $m_t\to \infty$ in~\eqref{eq:jH_helicity_flip} and~\eqref{eq:jH_same_helicity}, or use the \textit{impact factors} as given in~\cite{DelDuca:2003ba}. Both methods are equivalent, and lead to the same result. For the first one would find
\begin{align}
\lim_{m_t\to\infty} m_t^2 H_1 &= i \frac{1}{24 \pi^2}\\
\lim_{m_t\to\infty} m_t^2 H_2 &=-i \frac{1}{24 \pi^2}\\
\lim_{m_t\to\infty} m_t^2 H_4 &= i \frac{1}{24 \pi^2}\\
\lim_{m_t\to\infty} m_t^2 H_5 &=-i \frac{1}{24 \pi^2}\\
\lim_{m_t\to\infty} m_t^2 H_{10} &= 0 \\
\lim_{m_t\to\infty} m_t^2 H_{12} &= 0.
\end{align}
\todo{double check this, see James thesis eq. 4.33}
However only the second method is implemented in the code through \lstinline!C2gHgp!
and \lstinline!C2gHgm! inside \texttt{src/Hjets.cc}, each function
calculates the square of eq. (4.23) and (4.22) from~\cite{DelDuca:2003ba} respectively.

\caption{The $j_V$ current is constructed from the two diagrams which
contribute to the emission of a vector boson from a given quark line.}
\label{fig:jV}
\end{figure}
For a $W, Z$, or photon emission we require a fermion. The current is actually a sum of
two separate contributions, see figure~\ref{fig:jV}, one with a vector boson emission
from the initial state, and one with the vector boson emission from the final state.
This can be seen as the following two
terms, given for the example of a $W$ emission~\cite{Andersen:2012gk}\todo{cite W subleading paper}:
\begin{align}
\label{eq:Weffcur1}
j_W^\mu(p_a,p_{\ell},p_{\bar{\ell}}, p_1) =&\ \frac{g_W^2}{2}\
\frac1{p_W^2-M_W^2+i\ \Gamma_W M_W}\ \bar{u}^-(p_\ell) \gamma_\alpha
v^-(p_{\bar\ell})\nonumber \\
& \cdot \left( \frac{ \bar{u}^-(p_1) \gamma^\alpha (\slashed{p}_W +
\slashed{p}_1)\gamma^\mu u^-(p_a)}{(p_W+p_1)^2} +
\frac{ \bar{u}^-(p_1)\gamma^\mu (\slashed{p}_a - \slashed{p}_W)\gamma^\alpha u^-(p_a)}{(p_a-p_W)^2} \right).
\end{align}
There are a couple of subtleties here. There is a minus sign
distinction between the quark-anti-quark cases due to the fermion flow
of the propagator in the current. Note that the type of $W$ emission
(+ or -) will depend on the quark flavour, and that the handedness of
the quark-line is given by whether its a quark or anti-quark.
The coupling and propagator factor in eq.~(\ref{eq:Weffcur1}) have to
be adapted depending on the emitted boson. The remaining product of
currents
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:J_V}
J_{\text{V}}^\mu(p_2,p_l,p_{\bar{l}},p_3)=\left( \frac{ \bar{u}_2 \gamma^\nu (\slashed{p}_2 +
\slashed{p}_l +
\slashed{p}_{\bar{l}}) \gamma^\mu u_3}{s_{2l\bar{l}}} - \frac{\bar u_2
\gamma^\mu(\slashed{p}_3 + \slashed{p}_l + \slashed{p}_{\bar{l}}) \gamma^\nu
u_3}{s_{3l\bar{l}}} \right) [\bar{u}_l \gamma_\nu u_{\bar{l}}]
\end{equation}
with $s_{il\bar{l}} = (p_i + p_l +p_{\bar{l}})^2$ is universal. The
implementation is in \texttt{include/currents.frm} inside the
\texttt{current\_generator} (see section~\ref{sec:cur_gen}). To use it
inside \FORM use the place-holder
\lstinline!JV(h1, hl, mu, pa, p1, plbar, pl)!, where \lstinline!h1! is
the helicity of the quark line and \lstinline!hl! the helicity of the
lepton line.

It is necessary to include subleading processes in vector boson + jets
also. Similarly to the pure jet case, the unordered currents are not
calculated separately, and only in the ME functions when required in
the \texttt{src/Wjets.cc} or \texttt{src/Zjets.cc} file. The following shows the derivation of the calculation of
this ME within HEJ. We start with a contraction of two currents:
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:SabsVuno}
S_{qQ\to Vgq^\prime Q} =
j_{V{\rm uno}\,\mu}^d(p_a,p_1,p_2,p_\ell,p_{\bar\ell})\ g^{\mu
\nu}\ T^d_{3b}\ j^{h_b,h_3}_{\nu}(p_b,p_{3}),
\end{equation}
where $j_{V,{\rm uno}}$ is our new unordered current which is is
only non-zero for $h_a=h_1=-$ and hence we have suppressed its
helicity indices. It is derived from the 12 leading-order Feynman
diagrams in the QMRK limit (see figure~\ref{fig:Vunodiags}). Using
$T^m_{ij}$ represent fundamental colour matrices between quark state
$i$ and $j$ with adjoint index $m$ we find
\begin{align}\label{eq:wunocurrent}
\begin{split}
j^{d\,\mu}_{\rm V,uno}(p_a,p_1,p_2,p_\ell,p_{\bar{\ell}}) =& \ i \varepsilon_{\nu}(p_1)\
\bar{u}^-(p_\ell) \gamma_\rho v^-(p_{\bar \ell}) \\ & \quad \times\
\left(T^1_{2i} T^d_{ia} (\tilde U_1^{\nu\mu\rho}-\tilde L^{\nu\mu\rho}) +
T^d_{2i} T^1_{ia} (\tilde U_2^{\nu\mu\rho}+\tilde L^{\nu\mu\rho}) \right),
\end{split}
\end{align}
where expressions for $\tilde U_{1,2}^{\nu\mu\rho}$ and $\tilde L^{\nu\mu\rho}$
are given as:
\begin{align}
\label{eq:U1tensor}
\begin{split}
\tilde U_1^{\nu\mu\rho} ={}&\frac{\langle 2|\nu (\slashed{p}_2+ \slashed{p}_1)\mu (\slashed{p}_a - \slashed{p}_V)\rho P_L |a\rangle }{s_{12}t_{aV}} + \frac{\langle 2|\nu (\slashed{p}_2+ \slashed{p}_1)\rho P_L (\slashed{p}_2+\slashed{p}_1 + \slashed{p}_V)\mu |a\rangle }{s_{12}s_{12V}} \\
&+ \frac{\langle 2|\rho P_L (\slashed{p}_2+ \slashed{p}_V) \nu
(\slashed{p}_1 + \slashed{p}_2+\slashed{p}_V)\mu |a\rangle}{s_{2V}s_{12V}}\,,
\end{split}\\
\label{eq:U2tensor}
\begin{split}
\tilde U_2^{\nu\mu\rho} ={}&\frac{\langle 2|\mu (\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_V-\slashed{p}_1)\nu (\slashed{p}_a - \slashed{p}_V)\rho P_L |a\rangle }{t_{aV1}t_{aV}} + \frac{\langle 2|\mu (\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_V- \slashed{p}_1)\rho P_L (\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_1) \nu |a\rangle }{t_{a1V}t_{a1}} \\
&+ \frac{\langle 2|\rho P_L (\slashed{p}_2+ \slashed{p}_V) \mu
(\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_1)\nu |a\rangle}{s_{2V}t_{a1}}\,,
\end{split}\\
\label{eq:Ltensor}
\begin{split}
\tilde L^{\nu\mu\rho} ={}& \frac{1}{t_{aV2}}\left[
\frac{\langle 2 | \sigma (\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_V)\rho|a\rangle}{t_{aV}}
+\frac{\langle 2 | \rho (\slashed{p}_2+\slashed{p}_V)\sigma|a\rangle}{s_{2V}}
\right]\\
&\times \left\{\left(\frac{p_b^\nu}{s_{1b}} + \frac{p_3^\nu}{s_{13}}\right)(q_1-p_1)^2g^{\mu\sigma}+(2q_1-p_1)^\nu g^{\mu\sigma} - 2p_1^\mu g^{\nu\sigma} + (2p_1-q_1)^\sigma g^{\mu\nu} \right\}\,,
\end{split}
\end{align}
where $s_{ij\dots} = (p_i + p_j + \dots)^2, t_{ij\dots} = (p_i - p_j -
\dots)^2$ and $q_1 = p_a-p_2-p_V$. This is actually calculated and
used in the code in a much cleaner way as follows:
\begin{align}\label{eq:spinorstringVuno}
S_{qQ\to Vgq^\prime Q} = i\varepsilon_\nu (p_g) \bar{u}^-(p_2)&\gamma_\rho\nu(p_{\bar{q}})\times T^d_{3b} \bar{u}^{h_3}(p_3)\gamma_\mu u^{h_b}(p_b) \times \nonumber \\
&\left( T^1_{2i}T^d_{ia} \left( \tilde{U}_1^{\nu\mu\rho}-\tilde{L}^{\nu\mu\rho}\right)+T^d_{2i}T^1_{ia}\left(\tilde{U}_2^{\nu\mu\rho}+\tilde{L}^{\nu\mu\rho}\right) \right)
\end{align}
If we define the objects:
\begin{align}\label{eq:VunoX}
X &= \varepsilon_\nu(p_g) \left[ \bar{u}^-(p_2)\gamma_\rho\nu(p_{\bar{q}})\right] \left[ \bar{u}^{h_3}(p_3)\gamma_\mu u^{h_b}(p_b)\right] \left( \tilde{U}_1^{\nu\mu\rho}-\tilde{L}^{\nu\mu\rho}\right)\\
Y &= \varepsilon_\nu(p_g) \left[ \bar{u}^-(p_2)\gamma_\rho\nu(p_{\bar{q}})\right] \left[ \bar{u}^{h_3}(p_3)\gamma_\mu u^{h_b}(p_b)\right] \left( \tilde{U}_2^{\nu\mu\rho}+\tilde{L}^{\nu\mu\rho}\right)
\label{eq:WunoY}
\end{align}
then we can rewrite Equation \eqref{eq:spinorstringVuno} in the much simpler form:
\begin{equation}
S_{qQ\to Vgq^\prime Q} = iT^d_{3b} \left( T^{1}_{2i}T^d_{ia} X + T^d_{2i}T^1_{ia} Y \right)
\end{equation}
then, by using:
\begin{align}
\sum_{\text{all indices}}& T^d_{3b}T^e_{b3}T^1_{2i}T^d_{ia}T^e_{ai}T^1_{i2} = \frac{1}{2}C_F^2C_A \\
\sum_{\text{all indices}}& T^d_{3b}T^e_{b3}T^1_{2i}T^d_{ia}T^1_{ai}T^e_{i2} = \frac{1}{2}C_F^2C_A - \frac{1}{4}C_A^2C_F = -\frac{1}{4}C_F
\end{align}
giving then, the spin summed and helicity averaged spinor string as:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:VunoSumAveS}
||\;\bar{S}_{qQ\to Vgq^\prime Q}\;|| = \frac{1}{4N_C^2} \left( \frac{1}{2}C_F^2C_A\left(|X|^2+|Y|^2\right)-\frac{1}{4}C_F\times2\mathrm{Re}\left(XY^*\right)\right)
\end{equation}
\subsubsection{\texorpdfstring{$W$}{W}+Extremal \texorpdfstring{$\mathbf{q\bar{q}}$}{qqx}}
\todo{Update when included in $Z$ + jets}
The $W$+Jet sub-leading processes containing an extremal $q\bar{q}$ are
related by crossing symmetry to the $W$+Jet unordered processes. This
means that one can simply perform a crossing symmetry argument on
eq.~\ref{eq:wunocurrent} to arrive at the extremal $q\bar{q}$ current
required.We show the basic structure of the extremal $q\bar{q}$
current in figure~\ref{fig:qgimp}, neglecting the $W$-emission for
simplicity.

\caption{The five tree-level graphs which contribute to the process $gq \to \bar{Q}Qq$.}
\label{fig:qg_qQQ_graphs}
\end{figure}
We can obtain the current for $g\rightarrow W q \bar{q}$ by evaluating
the current for $W$ plus unordered emissions with the normal arguments
$p_a \leftrightarrow -p_1 $ interchanged. This is a non-trivial
statement: due to the minimality of the approximations made, the
crossing symmetry normally present in the full amplitude may be
extended to the factorised current.
We must again note that swapping $p_a \leftrightarrow -p_1$ will lead
to $u$-spinors with momenta with negative energy. These are identical
to $v$-spinors with momenta with positive energy, up to an overall
phase which is common to all terms, and can therefore be neglected.
Mathematically, this is given by:
\begin{align}\label{eq:crossedJ}
j^\mu_{\rm W,g\to Q\bar{Q}}(p_a,p_1,p_2,p_\ell,p_{\bar{\ell}}) =i \varepsilon_{g\nu}
\langle \ell | \rho | \bar \ell \rangle_L
\left(T^1_{2i} T^d_{ia} (\tilde U_{1,X}^{\nu\mu\rho}-\tilde L^{\nu\mu\rho}_X) + T^d_{2i} T^1_{ia} (\tilde U_{2,X}^{\nu\mu\rho}+\tilde L_X^{\nu\mu\rho}) \right),
\end{align}
where the components are now given by
\begin{align}
\label{eq:U1tensorX}
\begin{split}
\tilde U_{1,X}^{\nu\mu\rho} =&\frac{\langle 2|\nu (\slashed{p}_a- \slashed{p}_2)\mu (\slashed{p}_1 + \slashed{p}_W)\rho P_L |1\rangle }{t_{a2}s_{1W}} + \frac{\langle 2|\nu (\slashed{p}_a- \slashed{p}_2)\rho P_L (\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_2 - \slashed{p}_W)\mu |1\rangle }{t_{a2}t_{a2W}} \\
&- \frac{\langle 2|\rho P_L (\slashed{p}_2+ \slashed{p}_W) \nu
(\slashed{p}_a - \slashed{p}_2-\slashed{p}_W)\mu
|1\rangle}{s_{2W}t_{a2W}}\,,
\end{split}\\
\label{eq:U2tensorX}
\begin{split}
\tilde U_{2,X}^{\nu\mu\rho} =&-\frac{\langle 2|\mu (\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_W-\slashed{p}_1)\nu (\slashed{p}_1 + \slashed{p}_W)\rho P_L |1\rangle }{t_{aW1}s_{1W}} + \frac{\langle 2|\mu (\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_W- \slashed{p}_1)\rho P_L (\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_1) \nu |1\rangle }{t_{a1W}t_{a1}} \\
&+ \frac{\langle 2|\rho P_L (\slashed{p}_2+ \slashed{p}_W) \mu
(\slashed{p}_a-\slashed{p}_1)\nu |1\rangle}{s_{2W}t_{a1}}\,,
\end{split}\\
\label{eq:LtensorX}
\begin{split}
\tilde L^{\nu\mu\rho}_X &= \frac{1}{s_{W12}}\left[-\frac{\langle 2 |\sigma (\slashed{p}_1 + \slashed{p}_W) \rho P_L | 1\rangle}{s_{1W}} + \frac{\langle 2 |\rho P_L (\slashed{p}_2 + \slashed{p}_W) \sigma | 1\rangle }{s_{2W}} \right] \\
&\vphantom{+\frac{1}{t_{aW2}}}\quad\cdot \left( -\left(
\frac{p_b^\nu}{s_{ab}} + \frac{p_n^\nu}{s_{an}} \right) (q_1+p_a)^2 g^{\sigma\mu}+ g^{\sigma \mu} (2q_1 +p_a)^\nu - g^{\mu \nu}(2p_a+q_1)^\sigma+ 2g^{\nu \sigma}p_a^\mu \right)\,,
\end{split}
\end{align}
where $q_1=-(p_1+p_2+p_W)$. Notice in particular the similarity to the $W$+uno scenario (from which
this has been derived).
\subsubsection{Central \texorpdfstring{$\mathbf{q\bar{q}}$}{qqx} Vertex}
The final subleading process in the $W$+Jet case is the Central
$q\bar{q}$ vertex. This subleading process does not require an altered
current, but an effective vertex which is contracted with two regular
\HEJ currents. This complexity is dealt with nicely by the \FORM inside the
\texttt{current\_generator/j\_Wqqbar\_j.frm}, which is detailed in
section~\ref{sec:contr_calc}.
The $W$-emission can be from the central effective vertex (scenario
dealt with by the function \lstinline!ME_WCenqqx_qq! in the file
\texttt{src/Wjets.cc}); or from either of the external quark legs
(scenario dealt with by \lstinline!ME_W_Cenqqx_qq! in same file). In
the pure jets case, there are 7 separate diagrams which contribute to
this, which can be seen in figure~\ref{fig:qq_qQQq_graphs}. In the $W$+Jets
case, there are then 45 separate contributions.

The end result is of the effective vertex, after derivation, is:
\begin{align}
\label{eq:EffectiveVertexqqbar}
\begin{split}
V^{\mu\nu}_{\text{Eff}}=&
- i \frac{C_1}{s_{23AB}}\left(X^{\mu\nu\sigma}_{1a}\hat{t_1} + X^{\mu\nu\sigma}_{4b}\hat{t_3} +V^{\mu\nu\sigma}_{3g}\right)J_{\text{V} \sigma}(p_2,p_A,p_B,p_3)
\\
&\quad +iC_2X^{\mu\nu}_{Unc}+iC_3X^{\mu\nu}_{Cro},
\end{split}
\end{align}
where:
\begin{align}
\begin{split}
C_1=&T^e_{1q}T^g_{qa}T^e_{23}T^g_{4b} -
T^g_{1q}T^e_{qa}T^e_{23}T^g_{4b} = f^{egc}T^c_{1a}T^e_{23}T^g_{4b},

\\
C_3=&T^g_{1a}T^{g'}_{2q}T^g_{q3}T^{g'}_{4b}
\end{split}
\end{align}
are the colour factors of different contributions and $J_\text{V}$ is
given in equation~(\ref{eq:J_V}).
The following tensor structures correspond to groupings of diagrams in
figure~\ref{fig:qq_qQQq_graphs}.
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{eq:X_1a}
X_{1a}^{\mu\nu\sigma} &=
\frac{-g^{\mu\nu}}{s_{23AB}\hat{t_3}}\left(\frac{p^\sigma_a}{s_{a2} + s_{a3} + s_{aA} + s_{aB}} +
\frac{p^\sigma_1}{s_{12} + s_{13} + s_{1A} + s_{1B}}\right)
\\
\label{eq:X_4b}
X_{4b}^{\mu\nu\sigma}
&=\frac{g^{\mu\nu}}{s_{23AB}\hat{t_1}}\left(\frac{p^\sigma_b}{s_{b2} + s_{b3} + s_{bA} + s_{bB}}+
\frac{p^\sigma_4}{s_{42} + s_{43} + s_{4A} + s_{4B}}\right)
\end{eqnarray}
correspond to the first and second row of diagrams in figure~\ref{fig:qq_qQQq_graphs}.
\begin{align}
\label{eq:3GluonWEmit}
\begin{split}
V^{\mu\nu\sigma}_{3g}=\frac{1}{
\hat{t}_1s_{23AB}\,\hat{t}_3}
\bigg[&\left(q_1+p_2+p_3+p_A+p_B\right)^\nu
g^{\mu\sigma}+
\\
&\quad\left(q_3-p_2-p_3-p_A-p_B\right)^\mu g^{\sigma\nu}-
\\
& \qquad\left(q_1+q_3\right)^\sigma g^{\mu\nu}\bigg]J_{\text{V} \sigma}(p_2,p_A,p_B,p_3)
\end{split}
\end{align}
corresponds to the left diagram on the third row in
figure~\ref{fig:qq_qQQq_graphs}. One notes that all of these
contributions have the same colour factor, and as such we can group
them together nicely before summing over helicities etc. As such, the function
\lstinline!M_sym_W! returns a contraction of the above tensor containing the
information from these 5 groupings of contributions (30 diagrams in total). It
is available through the generated header \texttt{j\_Wqqbar\_j.hh} (see
section~\ref{sec:cur_gen}).
\begin{align}
\label{eq:X_Unc}
\begin{split}
X^{\mu\nu}_{Unc}=\frac{\langle A|\sigma P_L|B\rangle}{\hat{t_1}\hat{t_3}} \bar{u}_2&\left[-\frac{
\gamma^\sigma P_L(\slashed{p}_2+\slashed{p}_A+\slashed{p}_B)\gamma^\mu

\\
&\qquad\left. \frac{\gamma^\mu(\slashed{q}_1-\slashed{p}_2)\gamma^\sigma

\\

}{(t_{unc_1})(s_{3AB})}\right]v_3
\end{split}
\end{align}
corresponds to the diagram on the right of row three in
figure~\ref{fig:qq_qQQq_graphs}. This contribution to the current
contraction can be obtained in the code with the function
\lstinline!M_uncross_W!.
\begin{align}

\end{split}
\end{align}
corresponds to the last diagram in
figure~\ref{fig:qq_qQQq_graphs}. This contribution to the current
contraction can be obtained in the code with the function
\lstinline!M_cross_W!.
