Two-loop QED heavy-flavor contribution to Bhabha scattering

Bonciani, R; Ferroglia, A (2008). Two-loop QED heavy-flavor contribution to Bhabha scattering. Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 183:181-186.

Abstract

We briefly review the status of the calculation of next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to large angle Bhabha scattering in pure QED. In particular, we focus on the analytic calculation of the two-loop virtual corrections involving a heavy-flavor fermion loop, which was recently completed. We conclude by assessing the numerical impact of these corrections on the Bhabha scattering cross section at colliders operating at a center of mass energy of 1 GeV and at the future ILC.
