Abstract

We present Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) predictions for $\gamma\gamma\gamma\gamma$ final states, including the effects of photon fragmentation. Our results are calculated fully analytically using the techniques of $D$-dimensional unitarity, and we discuss some refinements to existing methods, focusing particularly on the role of three-mass triangle coefficients. Using these techniques we are able to produce a numerically stable Monto Carlo code that runs fully in double precision. We investigate the $4\gamma$ signal at colliders, both for Run II of the LHC and at future machines. Our results are implemented in MCFM.
