$gg\to ZZ$: analytic two-loop results for the low- and high-energy regions

Abstract

We compute next-to-leading order virtual two-loop corrections to the process $gg\to ZZ$ in the low- and high-energy limits, considering the contributions with virtual top quarks. Analytic results for all 20 form factors are presented including expansion terms up to $1/m_t^{12}$ and $m_t^{32}$. We use a Padé approximation procedure to extend the radius of convergence of the high-energy expansion and apply this approach to the fini\ te virtual next-to-leading order corrections.
