Non-Annihilation Processes, Fermion-Loop and QED Radiation
نویسنده
چکیده
The bulk of large radiative corrections to any process can be obtained by promoting coupling constants to be running ones and by including QED radiation at the leading logarithmic level via structure functions evoluted at some scale. The problem of fixing the proper scale in running coupling constants and in structure functions for non-annihilation processes is briefly addressed and the general solution is analyzed.

A Practical Approach for Exponentiation of QED Corrections in Arbitrary Processes
It is a well-known fact that, among the electroweak corrections, QED radiation gives the largest contribution and the needed precision requires a re-summation of the large logarithms which show up in perturbation theory. For annihilation processes, ee → ff , initial state radiation is a definable, gauge-invariant, concept and one has general tools to deal with it; the structure function approac...
متن کاملQED box amplitude in heavy fermion production
We evaluate the two–photon box contribution to heavy fermion production in electron positron annihilation, that provides O(α2) electromagnetic corrections to the Born cross section. The study of its non–relativistic expansion, relevant at energies close to the threshold of production, is also performed. We also verify that the threshold expansion of the one–loop integrals correctly reproduces o...
متن کاملConnections between deep-inelastic and annihilation processes at next-to-next-to-leading order and beyond
We have discovered 7 intimate connections between the published results for the radiative corrections, CK, to the Gross–Llewellyn Smith (GLS) sum rule, in deepinelastic lepton scattering, and the radiative corrections, CR, to the Adler function of the flavour-singlet vector current, in ee annihilation. These include a surprising relation between the scheme-independent single-electron-loop contr...
متن کاملQED corrections with partial angular integration to fermion pair production in e+e−- annihilation
Analytic formulae are derived for the complete photon energy spectrum due to QED corrections to fermion pair production in case of a limited angular acceptance for the final state fermions. After a numerical integration over the energy of non-observed photons, this corresponds to typical experimental conditions at LEP/SLC.
متن کاملComplete Initial State QED Corrections to Off-Shell Gauge Boson Pair Production in e+e− Annihilation
We study Standard Model four-fermion production in e+e− annihilation at LEP2 energies and above using a semi-analytical approach. We derive the complete QED initial state corrections (ISR) to the reactions e+e− → (Z0Z0) → f1f̄1f2f̄2 and e+e− → (W+W−) → f̄u 1 fd 1 fu 2 f̄d 2 with f1 6= f2 and fi 6= e±, (−) νe . As compared to the well-known universal s-channel ISR, additional complexity arises due t...
