Massive three-loop form factors: anomaly contribution

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-05-24 v1

Abstract

We compute three-loop corrections to the singlet form factors for massive quarks using a semi-analytic method which provides precise results over the whole kinematic range. Particular emphasis is put on the anomaly contribution originating from an external axial-vector current. We also discuss in detail the contribution for a pseudoscalar current and verify the chiral Ward identity to three-loop order. Explicit results are presented for the low- and high-energy regions and the expansions around threshold.
