We perform analytical reductions of one-loop tensor integrals with 5 and 6 legs to scalar master integrals. They are based on the use of recurrence relations connecting integrals in different space-time dimensions. The reductions are expressed in a compact form in terms of signed minors, and have been implemented in a mathematica package called hexagon.m. We present several numerical examples.

We present a new algorithm for the reduction of one-loop emph{tensor} Feynman integrals with $nleq 4$ external legs to emph{scalar} Feynman integrals $I_n^D$ with $n=3,4$ legs in $D$ dimensions, where $D=d+2l$ with integer $l geq 0$ and generic dimen
sion $d=4-2epsilon$, thus avoiding the appearance of inverse Gram determinants $()_4$. As long as $()_4 eq 0$, the integrals $I_{3,4}^D$ with $D>d$ may be further expressed by the usual dimensionally regularized scalar functions $I_{2,3,4}^d$. The integrals $I_{4}^D$ are known at $()_4 equiv 0$, so that we may extend the numerics to small, non-vanishing $()_4$ by applying a dimensional recurrence relation. A numerical example is worked out. Together with a recursive reduction of 6- and 5-point functions, derived earlier, the calculational scheme allows a stabilized reduction of $n$-point functions with $nleq 6$ at arbitrary phase space points. The algorithm is worked out explicitely for tensors of rank $Rleq n$.
We show how to evaluate tensor one-loop integrals in momentum space avoiding the usual plague of Gram determinants. We do this by constructing combinations of $n$- and $(n-1)$-point scalar integrals that are finite in the limit of vanishing Gram dete
rminant. These non-trivial combinations of dilogarithms, logarithms and constants are systematically obtained by either differentiating with respect to the external parameters - essentially yielding scalar integrals with Feynman parameters in the numerator - or by developing the scalar integral in $D=6-2e$ or higher dimensions. As an explicit example, we develop the tensor integrals and associated scalar integral combinations for processes where the internal particles are massless and where up to five (four massless and one massive) external particles are involved. For more general processes, we present the equations needed for deriving the relevant combinations of scalar integrals.
For loop integrals, the standard method is reduction. A well-known reduction method for one-loop integrals is the Passarino-Veltman reduction. Inspired by the recent paper [1] where the tadpole reduction coefficients have been solved, in this paper w
e show the same technique can be used to give a complete integral reduction for any one-loop integrals. The differential operator method is an improved version of the PV-reduction method. Using this method, analytic expressions of all reduction coefficients of the master integrals can be given by algebraic recurrence relation easily. We demonstrate our method explicitly with several examples.
We briefly sketch the methods for a numerically stable evaluation of tensor one-loop integrals that have been used in the calculation of the complete electroweak one-loop corrections to $PepPemto4 $fermions. In particular, the improvement of the new
methods over the conventional Passarino--Veltman reduction is illustrated for some 4-point integrals in the delicate limits of small Gram (and other kinematical) determinants.
We present the public C++ library Ninja, which implements the Integrand Reduction via Laurent Expansion method for the computation of one-loop integrals. The algorithm is suited for applications to complex one-loop processes.
