Rolf,
Thanks for the variation of the notebook. I have two questions:
1. Does FeynCalc have functions that allow for the analysis of the two point
integrals A0, B0 etc. in the limit D -> 4+e so that the divergent parts of
the self energies can be extracted and analysed?
2. Is it possible to use TARCER to perform the same calculation as done in
my notebook but for two loop diagrams? My attempt to do this is in the
attached file. I have tried applying ToTFI to the results of CreateFCAmp but
very few of the terms correctly reduce to TFI form. I deduce from looking at
the results from ToTFI that the problem lies at least partly in the fact
that ToTFI does not deal with terms with numerators containing odd powers of
the internal loop momenta q1 and q2. Presumably these terms are zero by
symmetric integration. Are there TARCER functions that allow for these terms
to be handled (some sort of analogue of OneLoopSimplify)?
Many thanks
Jon Palmer
