Bosonic Corrections to The Effective Weak Mixing Angle at O(alpha^2)

Abstract

We present the complete bosonic contributions to the effective weak mixing angle, $\seff$, at the two-loop level in the electroweak interactions. We find their size to be about three times smaller than inferred from simple estimates from lower orders. In particular, for a Higgs boson mass, $M_H$, of 100 GeV they amount to $4\times 10^{-6}$, and drop down by about an order of magnitude for $M_H=200$ GeV. We estimate the intrinsic error of the theory prediction of $\seff$ to be $4.7\times 10^{-5}$.
