In this contribution we give a short overview of the situation in the precision calculation of the Bhabha process and we present a preliminary numerical result on the second-order sub-leading correction to the small angle Bhabha process.
The experimental precision that will be reached at the next generation of colliders makes it indispensable to improve theoretical predictions significantly. Bhabha scattering (e^+ e^- \to e^+ e^-) is one of the prime processes calling for a…
