- Enhanced precision in two-loop calculations for particle physics.

## Abstract

The two-loop contributions are now often required by the precision experiments, yet are hard to express analytically while keeping precision. One way to approach this challenging task is via the dispersive approach, allowing to replace sub-loop diagram by effective propagator. This paper builds on our previous work, where we developed a general approach based on representation of many-point Passarino-Veltman functions in two-point function basis. In this work, we have extracted the UV-divergent poles of the Passarino-Veltman functions analytically and presented them as the dimensionally-regularized and multiply-subtracted dispersive sub-loop insertions, including self-energy, triangle, box and pentagon type.
