Abstract
We investigate the regularization-scheme dependent treatment of in the framework of dimensional regularization, mainly focusing on the four-dimensional helicity scheme (fdh). Evaluating distinctive examples, we find that for one-loop calculations, the recently proposed four-dimensional formulation (fdf) of the fdh scheme constitutes a viable and efficient alternative compared to more traditional approaches. In addition, we extend the considerations to the two-loop level and compute the pseudoscalar form factors of quarks and gluons in fdh. We provide the necessary operator renormalization and discuss at a practical level how the complexity of intermediate calculational steps can be reduced in an efficient way.
