The present status of the calculation of radiative corrections to chargino and neutralino pair production processes in the MSSM is summarized. The main focus will be on the use of the on-shell renormalization scheme for charginos and…
The heavy ion cross section for continuum e+ e- pair production has been calculated to all orders in Z alpha. Comparison is made with available CERN SPS and RHIC STAR data. Computed cross sections are found to be reduced from perturbation…
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,…
The next generation of high energy e+ e- linear colliders is expected to operate at \sqrt{s} \gtsim 500 GeV. In this energy range the WW fusion channel dominates the Higgs boson production cross section e+ e- -> \bar\nu \nu h^0/H^0. We…
An improved efficient method of calculating the hard bremsstrahlung correction to e^+ e^- -> 4f for non-zero fermion masses is presented. The non-vanishing fermion masses allow us to perform the phase space integrations to the very…
We discuss the production of charginos, neutralinos, and third generation sfermions in $e^+e^-$ annihilation in the energy range $\sqrt{s} = 0.2-1$ TeV. We present numerical predictions within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model for…
We present the full order alpha electroweak radiative corrections to the double Higgs-strahlung process e+e- --> ZHH. The computation is performed with the help of GRACE-loop. After subtraction of the initial state QED radiative…
ZFITTER is a Fortran package for the description of fermion-pair production in e+e- annihilation. We report on results of a rederivation of the complete set of analytical O(alpha) formulae for the treatment of photonic corrections to the…
We perform a complete calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) electroweak fermionic corrections to fermion-pair production processes, where "fermionic" refers to contributions with closed fermion loops. We did this via a…
The most interesting theoretical features of W-pair production in e+e- collisions are reviewed. Based on an analysis of on-shell W-pairs, it is shown that the mere inclusion of leading $O(\alpha)$ corrections--such as initial-state…
We study one loop supersymmetric corrections to precision observables. Adding LEP2 e ebar --> f fbar cross sections to the data-set removes previous hints for SUSY and the resulting constraints are in some cases stronger than direct bounds…
We calculate the $O(\alpha_s)$ corrections to longitudinal spin-spin correlations in $e^+e^-\to q\bar q$. For top quark pair production the $O(\alpha_s)$ corrections to the longitudinal spin-spin asymmetry amount to less than 1% in the…
We analyze the partial decay widths of sfermions decaying into charginos and neutralinos \Gamma(\sfermion -> f'\chi) at the one-loop level. We present the renormalization framework, and discuss the value of the corrections for top- and…
We study constraints on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model from electroweak experiments. We find that the light sfermions always make the fit worse than the Standard Model, while the light chargino generally make the fit slightly…
We report on a calculation of the `mixed' strong and (purely) weak corrections through the order $\alpha_{\mathrm{S}}^2\alpha_{\mathrm{W}}$ to parton-parton processes in all possible channels at hadron colliders entering the single jet…
We present the full O(alpha_s) longitudinal spin-spin correlations for heavy-quark pair production at e+ e- high-energy colliders in closed analytical form. In such reactions, quark and antiquark have strongly correlated spins, and the…
We study the one-loop radiative corrections to the SU(2) breaking mass splittings between sfermions in SU(2) doublets in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. At tree-level, the differences of mass squared…
The failure of observing the $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi+J/\psi$ events at $B$ factories to date is often attributed to the significant negative order-$\alpha_s$ correction. In this work we compute the ${\cal O}(\alpha^2_s)$ correction to this…
Cross-sections for hadronic, b-bbar and lepton pair final states in e+e- collisions at sqrt(s) = 183 GeV, measured with the OPAL detector at LEP, are presented and compared with the predictions of the Standard Model. Forward-backward…
Using the SU(2) gauge coupling, $g_{W^\pm} (M^2_{W^\pm})$, at the high-energy scale of $M_{W^\pm}$, defined by the (theoretical value of the) leptonic W-width, rather than using the low-energy value, defined via the Fermi coupling, $G_\mu$,…
