Abstract
One loop virtual corrections to the quark photon vertex are calculated under various assumptions and their sensitivity to the manner in which infra-red and mass singularities are regularized is studied. A method based on the use of Mellin-transforms in the Feynman parametric space is developed and shown to be convenient in calculating virtual diagrams beyond the leading logarithm in perturbative QCD.
