O(N_f\alpha^2) Corrections to Muon Decay

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-03-17 v1

Abstract

The calculation of the O(Nfα2)O(N_f\alpha^2) corrections to muon decay is described. These are the 2-loop diagrams containing a massless fermion loop and they form an important gauge-invariant subclass. It is shown that all such diagrams can be expressed in terms of a universal master integral. We focus on the calculation of box diagrams and in particular on the removal of their infrared divergences.
