This is the closeout report for work performed. Funds were used to support graduate student Scott Davies. A summary of work in QCD and in supergravity theories is included. Scott Davies worked on two distinct problems also in conjunction with his adviser, Zvi Bern. The first was on next-to-leading order (NLO) computations in QCD, including QCD corrections to Higgs Boson processes [1], using a six-dimensional helicity technique combined with generalized unitarity. More recently he worked together with Zvi Bern to show that in certain supergravity theories potential divergences that were suggested to be present by standard-symmetry arguments are actually not present.
