Description
Hypergeometric function theory and Feynman Integral calculus go hand in hand. A
series of recent investigations that culminated in the construction of several Mathematica packages that are based on Mellin-Barnes techniques, Method of Regions, hypergeometric function theory, etc., is reviewed in this talk to encourage the community to explore the use of these packages. Two-loop integrals appearing in chiral perturbation theory are a typical example that will be used for purposes of illustration. The talk will be easily accessible to early Ph.D. students in elementary particle physics and field theory.
