Double fermionic contributions to the heavy-quark vacuum polarization

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We compute the virtual O(\alpha_s^3 n_f^2) corrections to the heavy quark vector current correlator in terms of expansions in the external momentum and as an exact numerical solution. As a byproduct, the available high-energy expansion at the three-loop level is extended.
