We study the M{o}ller and Bhabha scattering in the noncommutative extension of the standard model(SM) using the Seiberg-Witten maps of this to first order of the noncommutative parameter $theta_{mu u}$. We look at the angular distribution $dsigma/dOmega$ to explore the noncommutativity of space-time at around $Lambda_{NC} sim$ TeV and find that the distribution deviates significantly from the one obtained from the commutative version of the standard model.
A complete, gauge-invariant computation of two loop virtual corrections involving closed fermion loops to the polarized M{o}ller scattering asymmetry is presented. The set of contributions involving two closed fermion loops and the set involving one
closed fermion loop are numerically similar in magnitude to the one-loop bosonic corrections and yield an overall correction of 1.3% relative to the tree-level asymmetry. We estimate sizes of remaining two-loop contributions and discuss implications for the upcoming MOLLER experiment.
We examine W pair production in the Noncommutative Standard Model constructed with the Seiberg-Witten map. Consideration of partial wave unitarity in the reactions WW to WW and e+e- to WW shows that the latter process is more sensitive and that tree-
level unitarity is violated when scattering energies are of order a TeV and the noncommutative scale is below about a TeV. We find that WW production at the LHC is not sensitive to scales above the unitarity bounds. WW production in e+e- annihilation, however, provides a good probe of such effects with noncommutative scales below 300-400 GeV being excluded at LEP-II, and the ILC being sensitive to scales up to 10-20 TeV. In addition, we find that the ability to measure the helicity states of the final state W bosons at the ILC provides a diagnostic tool to determine and disentangle the different possible noncommutative contributions.
We study muon pair production $ e^+ e^- to mu^+ mu^-$ in the noncommutative(NC) extension of the standard model using the Seiberg-Witten maps of this to the second order of the noncommutative parameter $Theta_{mu u}$. Using $mathcal{O}(Theta^2)$ Fey
nman rules, we find the $mathcal{O}(Theta^4)$ cross section(with all other lower order contributions simply cancelled) for the pair production. The momentum dependent $mathcal{O}(Theta^2)$ NC interaction significantly modifies the cross section and angular distributions which are different from the commuting standard model. We study the collider signatures of the space-time noncommutativity at the International Linear Collider(ILC) and find that the process $ e^+ e^- to mu^+ mu^-$ can probe the NC scale $Lambda$ in the range $0.8 - 1.0$ TeV for typical ILC energy ranges.
We study the muon pair production $ e^+ e^- to mu^+ mu^-$ in the framework of the non-minimal noncommutative(NC) standard model to the second order of the NC parameter $Theta_{mu u}$. The $mathcal{O}(Theta^2)$ momentum dependent NC interaction signif
icantly modifies the cross section and angular distributions which are different from the standard model. After including the effects of earths rotation we analyse the time-averaged and time dependent observables in detail. The time-averaged azimuthal distribution of the cross section shows siginificant departure from the standard model. We find strong dependence of the total cross section(time- averaged) and their distributions on the orientation of the noncommutative electric vector (${vec{Theta}}_E$). The periodic variation of the total cross-section with time over a day seems to be startling and can be thoroughly probed at the upcoming Linear Collider(LC).
Effects of vacuum polarization by hadronic and heavy-fermion insertions were the last unknown two-loop QED corrections to high-energy Bhabha scattering and have been first announced in cite{Actis:2007fs}. Here we describe the corrections in detail an
d explore their numerical influence. The hadronic contributions to the virtual O(alpha^2) QED corrections to the Bhabha-scattering cross-section are evaluated using dispersion relations and computing the convolution of hadronic data with perturbatively calculated kernel functions. The technique of dispersion integrals is also employed to derive the virtual O(alpha^2) corrections generated by muon-, tau- and top-quark loops in the small electron-mass limit for arbitrary values of the internal-fermion masses. At a meson factory with 1 GeV center-of-mass energy the complete effect of hadronic and heavy-fermion corrections amounts to less than 0.5 per mille and reaches, at 10 GeV, up to about 2 per mille. At the Z resonance it amounts to 2.3 per mille at 3 degrees; overall, hadronic corrections are less than 4 per mille. For ILC energies (500 GeV or above), the combined effect of hadrons and heavy-fermions becomes 6 per mille at 3 degrees; hadrons contribute less than 20 per mille in the whole angular region.
