An integral that occurs in particle physics might be interesting to reduce. It is

c

b 

Ö
 

(d-t)(c-t)(t-b)(t-a)
 
 dt

t
,
(1)
a special complete case of I(1,1,1,1,-1). For the integral to be well defined, one assumes a < b < c < d. It is symmetric in some peculiar combinations of a,b,c,d, and I once tried unsuccessfully to understand why.
