Full O(alpha) electroweak corrections for gamma-gamma-> W+W- are calculated including virtual corrections, soft and hard real photon and Z-boson emission. The corrections are quite large ranging from -2.5% at 500 GeV to -18% at 2 TeV,…

In the Standard Model the process $q\bar{q}\rightarrow q\bar{q}V$ (where $V=W^\pm,Z^0$ or $\gamma$) can occur via gluon exchange and also via $W^\pm$ or $Z^0$ exchange. The corresponding chromodynamic and electroweak amplitudes can…
We compute the one-loop supersymmetric (SUSY) contributions to the weak charges of the electron ($Q_W^e$) and proton ($Q_W^p$) using the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). These $q^2=0$ vector couplings of the $Z^0$-boson to…
