Numerical calculation of two-loop electroweak corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment ($g$-2) is done based on, on shell renormalization scheme (OS) and free quark model (FQM). The GRACE-FORM system is used to generate Feynman diagrams and corresponding amplitudes. Total 1780 two-loop diagrams and 70 one-loop diagrams composed of counter terms are calculated to get the renormalized quantity. As for the numerical calculation, we adopt trapezoidal rule with Double Exponential method (DE). Linear extrapolation method (LE) is introduced to regularize UV- and IR-divergences and to get finite values. The reliability of our result is guaranteed by several conditions. The sum of one and two loop electroweak corrections in this renormalization scheme becomes $a_mu^{EW:OS}[1{rm+}2{rm -loop}]= 151.2 (pm 1.0)times 10^{-11}$, where the error is due to the numerical integration and the uncertainty of input mass parameters and of the hadronic corrections to electroweak loops. By taking the hadronic corrections into account, we get $a_mu^{EW}[1{rm+}2 {rm -loop}]= 152.9 (pm 1.0)times 10^{-11}$. It is in agreement with the previous works given in PDG within errors.
Two-loop electroweak corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment are automatically calculated by using GRACE-FORM system, as a trial to extend our system for two-loop calculation. We adopt the non-linear gauge (NLG) to check the reliability of our calculation. In total 1780 two-loop diagrams consisting of 14 different topological types and 70 one-loop diagrams composed of counter terms are calculated. We check UV- and IR-divergences cancellation and the independence of the results from NLG parameters. As for the numerical calculation, we adopt trapezoidal rule with Double Exponential method (DE). Linear extrapolation method (LE) is introduced to regularize UV- and IR- divergence and to get finite values.
We reanalyze the two-loop electroweak hadronic contributions to the muon g-2 that may be enhanced by large logarithms. The present evaluation is improved over those already existing in the literature by the implementation of the current algebra Ward identities and the inclusion of the correct short-distance QCD behaviour of the relevant hadronic Greens function.
We present the first calculation of the two-loop electroweak fermionic correction to the flavour-dependent effective weak-mixing angle for bottom quarks, sin^2 theta_{eff}^{b anti-b}. For the evaluation of the missing two-loop vertex diagrams, two methods are employed, one based on a semi-numerical Bernstein-Tkachov algorithm and the second on asymptotic expansions in the large top-quark mass. A third method based on dispersion relations is used for checking the basic loop integrals. We find that for small Higgs-boson mass values, M_H ~ 100 GeV, the correction is sizable, of order O(10^{-4}).
We describe the impact of the full one-loop electroweak terms of O(alpha_s alpha_EM^3) entering the electron-positron into three-jet cross-section from sqrt(s)=M_Z to TeV scale energies. We include both factorisable and non-factorisable virtual corrections and photon bremsstrahlung. Their importance for the measurement of alpha_S from jet rates and shape variables is explained qualitatively and illustrated quantitatively, also in presence of b-tagging.
Large scale calculation for the radiative corrections required for the current and future collider experiments can be done automatically using the GRACE-LOOP system. Here several results for e+e- --> 3-body processes are presented including e+e- --> e+e-H and e+e- --> nu nubar gamma.
