Towards a Numerical Implementation of the Loop-Tree Duality Method

We review the recent progress on the numerical implementation of the Loop-Tree Duality Method (LTDM) for the calculation of scattering amplitudes. A central point is the analysis of the singularities of the integrand. In the frame-work of the LTDM some of these singularities cancel out. The ones left over are dealt with by contour deformation. We present details on how to achieve this as well as first results.
