Radiative corrections for lep2 physics

Objective



Our proposal consists of calculating and analysing the radiative corrections to processes relevant for LEP2 physics, and especially W pair production. We propose to parametrize these corrections in a manifestly gauge independent way in terms of the pinch technique (PT) self- energy, vertex, and box functions and subsequently tabulate them for use in automated codes. Specifically the objective is to:
- Avoid numerically, large gauge cancellations. - Examine the size of individual contributions of different classes of one-loop graphs to the total cross-section
- Extract important physical quantities, such as running
couplings and form factors from the LEP data.
- Define the improved Born approximation for complicated processes involving three or more particles in the final state and obtain higher-order estimates for them. - Construct automated codes for the calculation of one-loop cross-sections. - Investigate the off-shell W pair production at the one-loop level.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
