Two-Loop Form Factors in QED
نویسنده
چکیده
We evaluate the on shell form factors of the electron for arbitrary momentum transfer and finite electron mass, at two loops in QED, by integrating the corresponding dispersion relations, which involve the imaginary parts known since a long time. The infrared divergences are parameterized in terms of a fictitious small photon mass. The result is expressed in terms of Harmonic Polylogarithms of maximum weight 4. The expansions for small and large momentum transfer are also given.

QED second order corrections on the speed of light at low temperature
We want to study thermal corrections on the speed of light at low temperature considering temperature dependence of photon vacuum polarization tensor at two-loop level in the standard QED. It is found that the heat bath behaves as a dispersive medium for the propagation of light and reduces its speed proportional to the second order of temperature. Similarities and differences, in light ...

The noncommutative dipole QED is studied in detail for the matter fields in the adjoint representation. The axial anomaly of this theory is calculated in two and four dimensions using various regularization methods. The Ward-Takahashi identity is proved by making use of a non-perturbative path integral method. The one-loop β-function of the theory is calculated explicitly. It turns out that the...

After a brief review of higher-order QED eeects, a survey is made of novel aspects of QED with emphasis on recent experimental results in strong-eld QED: nonlinear Compton scattering and multiphoton pair creation by light. Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) describes the interactions between charged particles that are mediated by quanta (photons) of the electromagnetic eld. The simplest QED processe...
متن کاملVertex diagrams for the QED form factors at the 2 - loop level
We carry out a systematic investigation of all the 2-loop integrals occurring in the electron vertex in QED in the continuous D-dimensional regularization scheme, for on-shell electrons, momentum transfer t = −Q2 and finite squared electron mass me = a. We identify all the Master Integrals (MI’s) of the problem and write the differential equations in Q2 which they satisfy. The equations are exp...
متن کاملTwo-Loop Correction to Bhabha Scattering
We present the two-loop virtual QED corrections to ee ! + and Bhabha scattering in dimensional regularization. The results are expressed in terms of polylogarithms. The form of the infrared divergences agrees with previous expectations. These results are a crucial ingredient in the complete next-to-next-to-leading order QED corrections to these processes. A future application will be to reduce ...
