Higher Order Corrections

We review recent theoretical progress in the computation of radiative corrections beyond one loop within the standard model of electroweak interactions, in both the gauge and Higgs sectors. In the gauge sector, we discuss universal corrections of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and those due to virtual [Formula: see text]-threshold effects, as well as specific corrections to [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] including finite-mb effects. We also present an update of the hadronic contributions to Δα. Theoretical uncertainties, other than those due to the lack of knowledge of MH and mt, are estimated. In the Higgs sector, we report on the [Formula: see text] corrections to [Formula: see text] including those which are specific for the [Formula: see text] mode, the [Formula: see text] corrections to [Formula: see text] including the finite-mq terms, and the [Formula: see text] corrections to Γ(H → gg).

It happens that s2 and ŝ2 are equal with 0.1% accuracy, though they are split by radiative corrections and a natural estimate for their difference is 1%. This degeneracy occurs only for mt value close to 170 GeV, so no deep physical reason can be attributed to it. However, another puzzle of the standard model, the degeneracy of [Formula: see text] and s2, is not independent of the previous one since a good physical reason exists for [Formula: see text] and ŝ2 degeneracy. We present explicit formulas which relate these three angles.

Abstract We calculate coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering cross sections on spin-0 nuclei (e.g. 40Ar and 28Si) at energies below 100 MeV within the Standard Model and account for all effects of permille size. We provide a complete error budget including uncertainties at nuclear, nucleon, hadronic, and quark levels separately as well as perturbative error. Our calculation starts from the four-fermion effective field theory to explicitly separate heavy-particle mediated corrections (which are absorbed by Wilson coefficients) from light-particle contributions. Electrons and muons running in loops introduce a non- trivial dependence on the momentum transfer due to their relatively light masses. These same loops, and those mediated by tau leptons, break the flavor universality because of mass-dependent electromagnetic radiative corrections. Nuclear physics uncertainties significantly cancel in flavor asymmetries resulting in subpercent relative errors. We find that for low neutrino energies, the cross section can be predicted with a relative precision that is competitive with neutrino-electron scattering. We highlight potentially useful applications of such a precise cross section prediction ranging from precision tests of the Standard Model, to searches for new physics and to the monitoring of nuclear reactors.
