Bhabha Scattering at NNLO
We review the status of the calculation of next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to large angle Bhabha scattering in pure QED. After discussing the electron-loop and photonic corrections, we focus on the recently calculated two-loop virtual corrections involving a heavy-flavor fermion loop. We conclude by assessing the numerical impact of these corrections on the Bhabha scattering cross sec...
متن کاملFermionic NNLO contributions to Bhabha Scattering
We derive the two-loop corrections to Bhabha scattering from heavy fermions using dispersion relations. The double-box contributions are expressed by three kernel functions. Convoluting the perturbative kernels with fermionic threshold functions or with hadronic data allows to determine numerical results for small electron mass m e , combined with arbitrary values of the fermion mass m f in the...
متن کاملBhabha Scattering at High Energies
A study of the process, e+e---) e+e-7, where at least one electron scatters at a small angle is presented. Calculations of the process to order o3 and cr4 are reviewed and compared with data from the PEP storage ring. An analysis of data from the Mark II detector shows good agreement with the order cx4 calculation for e7 final states. Preliminary results from the ASP detector agree well with th...
متن کاملPrecision Calculation of Bhabha Scattering at Lep
For the small-angle Bhabha-scattering process, we consider the error budget for the calculation of the LEP/SLC luminosity in the Monte Carlo event generator BHLUMI 4.04, from the standpoint of new calculations of exact results for the respective O(α 2) photonic corrections in the context of the Yennie-Frautchi-Suura exponentiation. We find that an overall precision tag for the currently availab...
متن کاملLarge-Angle Bhabha Scattering at LEP1
A critical assessment is given of the theoretical uncertainty in the predicted cross-sections for large-angle Bhabha scattering at LEP1, with or without t-channel subtraction. To this end a detailed comparison is presented of the results obtained with the programs ALIBABA and TOPAZ0. Differences in the implementation of the radiative corrections and the effect of missing higher-order terms are ...
