Differential equations and massive two - loop Bhabha scattering : the B
The two-loop box contributions to massive Bhabha scattering may be reduced to two-loop box master integrals (MIs) with five, six, and seven internal lines, plus vertices and self energies. The self-energy and vertex MIs may be solved analytically by the differential equations (DE) method. This is true for only few of the box masters. Here we describe some details of the analytical determination...
متن کاملOn the Massive Two-loop Corrections to Bhabha Scattering * * *
We overview the general status of higher order corrections to Bhabha scattering and review recent progress in the determination of the two-loop virtual corrections. Quite recently, they were derived from combining a massless calculation and contributions with electron sub-loops. For a massive calculation, the self-energy and vertex master integrals are known, while most of the two-loop boxes ar...
متن کاملTwo-Loop Photonic Corrections to Massive Bhabha Scattering
We describe the details of the evaluation of the two-loop radiative photonic corrections to Bhabha scattering. The role of the corrections in the high-precision luminosity determination at present and future electron-positron colliders is discussed. PACS numbers: 11.15.Bt, 12.20.Ds
متن کاملTwo-loop QED Corrections to Bhabha Scattering
Bhabha scattering, ee → ee, is a crucial process in the phenomenology of particle physics. Its relevance is mainly due to the fact that it is the process employed to determine the luminosity L at ee colliders: in fact, L = NBhabha/σth, where NBhabha is the rate of Bhabha events and σth is the Bhabha scattering cross section calculated from theory. Two kinematic regions are of special interest f...
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 ...
