Corrections of Order $\alpha \alpha_s$ to W Boson Decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-12-01 v3

Abstract

We present the calculation of the mixed two-loop QCD/electroweak corrections to hadronic W boson decays within the Standard Model. The optical theorem is applied to the W boson two-point function. The multi-scale integrals are computed with the help of asymptotic expansions, which factorize the three-loop diagrams into one- and two-loop vacuum and propagator-type integrals.
