We discuss a generally applicable and systematic method to represent an arbitrary
tensor one-loop Feynman integral, with N external lines and massless propagators, in terms
of a basic set of eight scalar Feynman integrals with 2, 3 and 4 external lines. To
demonstrate the practicality of the method, we calculate one of the one-loop Feynman
diagrams with 6 external lines, which contribute to the hard-scattering amplitude of the
process g g®p+p- at high momentum transfer in the context of pQCD.
