We present Standard Model predictions for the complete set of phenomenologically relevant electroweak precision pseudo-observables related to the Z-boson: the leptonic and bottom-quark effective weak mixing angles $sin^2theta_{rm eff}^ell$, $sin^2theta_{rm eff}^b$, the Z-boson partial decay widths $Gamma_f$, where $f$ indicates any charged lepton, neutrino and quark flavor (except for the top quark), as well as the total Z decay width $Gamma_Z$, the branching ratios $R_ell$, $R_c$, $R_b$, and the hadronic cross section $sigma_{rm had}^0$. The input parameters are the masses $M_Z$, $M_H$ and $m_t$, and the couplings $alpha_s$, $alpha$. The scheme dependence due to the choice of $M_W$ or its alternative $G_mu$ as a last input parameter is also discussed. Recent substantial technical progress in the calculation of Minkowskian massive higher-order Feynman integrals allows the calculation of the complete electroweak two-loop radiative corrections to all the observables mentioned. QCD contributions are included appropriately. Results are provided in terms of simple and convenient parameterization formulae whose coefficients have been determined from the full numerical multi-loop calculation. The size of the missing electroweak three-loop or QCD higher-order corrections is estimated. We briefly comment on the prospects for their calculation. Finally, direct predictions for the $Z{bar f}f$ vector and axial-vector form-factors are given, including a discussion of separate order-by-order contributions.

The current status of electroweak precision tests after the discovery of the Higgs boson is reviewed, both from a phenomenological and from a theoretical point of view. Predictions for all Z-pole quantities are now available at the complete fermionic two-loop order within the Standard Model. The calculation of these corrections is described based on the example of the total Z-boson width. Finally, an outlook on the experimental improvements and theoretical challenges for a future high-luminosity e+e- collider is given.
This article presents results for the last unknown two-loop contributions to the $Z$-boson partial widths and $Z$-peak cross-section. These are the so-called bosonic electroweak two-loop corrections, where bosonic refers to diagrams without closed fermion loops. Together with the corresponding results for the $Z$-pole asymmetries $A_l, A_b$, which have been presented earlier, this completes the theoretical description of $Z$-boson precision observables at full two-loop precision within the Standard Model. The calculation has been achieved through a combination of different methods: (a) numerical integration of Mellin-Barnes representations with contour rotations and contour shifts to improve convergence; (b) sector decomposition with numerical integration over Feynman parameters; (c) dispersion relations for sub-loop insertions. Numerical results are presented in the form of simple parameterization formulae for the total width, $Gamma_{rm Z}$, partial decay widths $Gamma_{e,mu},Gamma_{tau},Gamma_{ u},Gamma_{u},Gamma_{c},Gamma_{d,s},Gamma_{b}$, branching ratios $R_l,R_c,R_b$ and the hadronic peak cross-section, $sigma_{rm had}^0$. Theoretical intrinsic uncertainties from missing higher orders are also discussed.
Phenomenologically relevant electroweak precision pseudo-observables related to Z-boson physics are discussed in the context of the strong experimental demands of future $e^+e^-$ colliders. The recent completion of two-loop Z-boson results is summarized and a prospect for the 3-loop Standard Model calculation of the Z-boson decay pseudo-observable is given.
In this paper, we present the one-loop radiative corrections to the electroweak precision observable $Delta rho$ coming from the $I_W=1$ multiplet excited leptons. We have calculated the couplings of the exotic lepton triplet to the vector bosons and ordinary leptons using effective Lagrangian approach. These couplings are then used to estimate the excited lepton triplet contribution to the $Delta rho$ parameter. The mass degenerate excited lepton contribution to $Delta rho $ is small and can be neglected. However, if the excited leptons are non-degenerate, their contribution can be large which can result in more stringent constraints on the excited fermion parameter space compared to the constraints from present experimental searches and perturbative unitarity condition.
We study the threshold production of two pions induced by neutrinos in nucleon targets. The contribution of nucleon, pion and contact terms are calculated using a chiral Lagrangian. The contribution of the Roper resonance, neglected in earlier studies, has also been taken into account. The numerical results for the cross sections are presented and compared with the available experimental data. It has been found that in the two pion channels with $pi^+pi^-$ and $pi^0pi^0$ in the final state, the contribution of the $N^*(1440)$ is quite important and could be used to determine the $N^*(1440)$ electroweak transition form factors if experimental data with better statistics become available in the future.
