# Quadratic electroweak corrections for polarized Moller scattering

(Impact Factor: 4.86). 10/2011; 85(1). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.85.013007
Source: arXiv

ABSTRACT The paper discusses the two-loop (NNLO) electroweak radiative corrections to
the parity violating electron-electron scattering asymmetry induced by squaring
one-loop diagrams. The calculations are relevant for the ultra-precise 11 GeV
MOLLER experiment planned at Jefferson Laboratory and experiments at
high-energy future electron colliders. The imaginary parts of the amplitudes
are taken into consideration consistently in both the infrared-finite and
divergent terms. The size of the obtained partial correction is significant,
which indicates a need for a complete study of the two-loop electroweak
radiative corrections in order to meet the precision goals of future
experiments.

##### Article: Double-box contributions to Møller scattering in the Standard Model
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The paper investigates contributions of γ, Z, W and ghost intermediate states of box-type to the parity-violating Møller scattering asymmetry up to two-loop level. Using the Yennie–Frautschi–Suura factorization form for amplitudes, we demonstrate that QED corrections, with an exception of vacuum-polarization effects, cancel at the asymmetry level. We obtain chiral amplitudes at Born, one-loop and partially at two-loop level: ladder boxes and decorated boxes. Our calculations are relevant for the ultra-precise 11 GeV MØLLER experiment planned at Jefferson Laboratory. The numerical comparison of the two-loop contributions with the experimental accuracy of MØLLER is provided.

##### Article: High precision calculations of electroweak radiative corrections for polarized Moller scattering at one loop and beyond
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Parity-violating Moller scattering measurements are a powerful probe of new physics effects, and the upcoming high-precision experiments will require a new level of accuracy for electroweak radiative corrections (EWC). First, we perform the updated calculations of one-loop EWC for Moller scattering asymmetry using two different approaches: semi-automatic, precise, with FeynArts and FormCalc as base languages, and "by hand", with reasonable approximations. In addition, we provide a tuned comparison between the one-loop results obtained in two different renormalization schemes: on-shell and constrained differential renormalization. As the last step, we discuss the two-loop EWC induced by squaring one-loop diagrams, and show that the significant size of this partial correction indicates a need for a complete study of the two-loop EWC in order to meet the precision goals of future experiments.

##### Article: Parity violating Moller scattering asymmetry up to the two-loop level
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The paper investigates contributions of $Z$, $W$ and $\gamma$ intermediate states to the parity-violating Moller scattering asymmetry up to two-loop level. Using the Yennie--Frautschi--Suura factorization form for amplitudes, we demonstrate that QED corrections, with an exception of vacuum-polarization effects, cancel at the asymmetry level. We obtain chiral amplitudes at Born, one-loop and partially at two-loop level: boxes with lepton self-energies, ladder boxes and decorated boxes. Our calculations are relevant for the ultra-precise 11 GeV MOLLER experiment planned at Jefferson Laboratory and future ILC experiments. The numerical comparision of the two-loop contributions with the experimental accuracy of MOLLER is provided.
