Precision tests of the SM and higher order effects: the example of the effective mixing angle

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-03-02 v1

Abstract

The radiative corrections involved in the precise determination of the electroweak mixing angle measured at the Z-peak are reviewed in detail, with particular emphasis on the new calculation of two-loop heavy top effects. This example serves as a brief pedagogical introduction to the problems and techniques of higher order electroweak calculations.
