We report on two recent results based on the evaluation of five-loop massless propagators in QCD and QED: (i) corrections of order $\alpha_s^4$ to the absorptive part of the polarization function in QCD with $n_f=3$;(ii) the five-loop…
In the framework of QED we evaluate the cross section for electron-positron pair production by a single photon in the presence of the external Aharonov-Bohm potential in first order of perturbation theory. We analyse energy, angular and…
We outline the recent results on the two-loop electroweak contributions to the electron-electron scattering cross sections and asymmetries. Although the two-loop corrections are strongly suppressed relative to the one-loop corrections, they…
The positronium molecule (Ps$_2$) has not been experimentally observed yet because its tiny (4.5 eV) binding energy cannot be detected when the molecule annihilates by emitting two photons with energy of 0.51 MeV each. It is shown in this…
We report a new value of electron $g-2$, or $a_e$, from 891 Feynman diagrams of order $\alpha^4$. The FORTRAN codes of 373 diagrams containing closed electron loops have been verified by at least two independent formulations. For the…

A long-standing problem to account for the electron-positron annihilation in positron Hydrogen scattering above the Positronium formation threshold has been resolved by the use of the three-body Faddeev formalism. The multichannel…
We compute the full one-loop EW contributions of O(\alpha_S alpha_EM^3) entering the electron-positron into two b-quarks and one gluon cross section at the Z peak and LC energies. We include both factorisable and non-factorisable virtual…

We calculate (g-2) of the muon and the QED coupling alpha(M_Z^2), by improving the determination of the hadronic vacuum polarization contributions and their uncertainties. We include the recently re-analysed CMD-2 data on e^+e^- -> pi^+…

The calculation of the R-ratio of electron-positron annihilation into hadrons is discussed. The method, which enables one to properly account for all the effects due to continuation of the spacelike perturbative results into the timelike…
Recent and ongoing experimental work on the positronium spectrum motivates new efforts to calculate positronium energy levels at the level of three loop corrections. We have obtained results for one set of such corrections involving…
