Two Loop Electroweak Bosonic Corrections to the Muon Decay Lifetime
The muon decay lifetime (τμ) has been used for long as an input parameter for high precision predictions of the Standard Model (SM). It allows for an indirect determination of the mass of the W boson (MW ), which suffers currently from a large experimental error of 33 MeV [1], one order of magnitude worse than that of the Z boson mass (MZ). A reduction of this error by LHC to 15 MeV [2] and by ...
متن کاملTwo - loop heavy top corrections to the b → sγ decay
We compute the two-loop corrections to the coefficient of the b → sγ magnetic penguin present in the limits of heavy top and/or heavy higgs. This kind of corrections affects in a significant way the observables measured at LEP. On the contrary we find that, due to a numerical accident, the correction to BR(B → Xsγ) is negligible (below the 1% level for any possible value of the higgs mass) when...
متن کاملTwo-loop QCD corrections to top quark decay
It is well-known that the top quark is the heaviest fermion in the Standard Model. An immediate consequence of that fact is its very short lifetime which turns out to be shorter than the characteristic timescale of nonperturbative QCD effects. Thanks to this feature, the top behaves almost like a free quark, which is really a unique situation in QCD. Moreover, the process t → bW is an absolutel...
متن کاملSensitivity of Two-Loop Corrections to Muon Decay to the Higgs-Boson Mass
The Higgs-mass dependence of the two-loop contributions to muon decay is analyzed at the two-loop level. Exact results are given for the Higgsdependent two-loop corrections associated with the fermions, i.e. no expansion in the top-quark and the Higgs-boson mass is made. The remaining theoretical uncertainties in the Higgs-mass dependence of ∆r are discussed. 1 Contribution to the proceedings o...
متن کاملTwo-Loop QCD Corrections to the Heavy-to-Light Quark Decay
We present an analytic expression for the two-loop QCD corrections to the decay process b → uW , where b and u are a massive and massless quark, respectively, while W ∗ is an off-shell charged weak boson. Since the W -boson can subsequently decay in a lepton anti-neutrino pair, the results of this paper are a first step towards a fully analytic computation of differential distributions for the ...
