Drell-Yan lepton pairs are produced in the process $p\bar{p} \rightarrow \mu^+\mu^- + X$ through an intermediate $\gamma^*/Z$ boson. The forward-backward asymmetry in the polar-angle distribution of the $\mu^-$ as a function of the…
The leading electroweak MSSM two-loop corrections to the $\rho$-parameter are calculated. They are obtained by evaluating the two-loop self-energies of the Z and the W boson at O(Gf^2 m_t^4) in the limit of heavy scalar quarks. A very…
The electromagnetic coupling $\alpha$ and the electroweak mixing angle $\theta_{\mathrm{W}}$ are parameters of the Standard Model (SM) that enter precision SM tests and play a fundamental r\^ole in beyond SM physics searches. Their values…

We present the two-loop mixed strong-electroweak virtual corrections to the charged current Drell-Yan process. The final-state collinear singularities are regularised by the lepton mass. The evaluation of all the relevant Feynman integrals,…
