dc.description.abstract	In 2011 Chien et al. introduced a method to calculate the cusp anomalous dimension for eikonal Wilson Lines at one- and two-loop order by viewing the Wilson lines as static charges in AdS space [1]. In this masterthesis this method is reviewed and a step by step guide is given. Moreover, an attempt is made to apply this method to next to eikonal Wilson lines. Even though this appeared to be only partly possible, some calculations could be done in position space, confirming other findings in momentum space. Besides this a start is made with the application of this method to three loop calculations. This looks promising, but poses significant challenges.
