Two-Loop QED Heavy-Flavor Contribution to Bhabha Scattering
arXiv:0806.4905 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2008.09.101
Abstract
We briefly review the status of the calculation of next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to large angle Bhabha scattering in pure QED. In particular, we focus on the analytic calculation of the two-loop virtual corrections involving a heavy-flavor fermion loop, which was recently completed. We conclude by assessing the numerical impact of these corrections on the Bhabha scattering cross section at colliders operating at a center of mass energy of 1 GeV and at the future ILC.
