There are indications that hadronic loops in some electroweak observables are almost saturated by parton level effects. Taking this as the hypothesis for this work, we propose a genuine parton level estimate of the hadronic light-by-light…
The calculation of the $O(N_f\alpha^2)$ 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…
