One-Loop Electroweak Radiative Corrections to Bhabha Scattering in the Belle II Experiment

TL;DR

This paper calculates one-loop electroweak radiative corrections to Bhabha scattering at Belle II energies, including virtual and real photon emissions, to improve theoretical predictions for the experiment.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed calculation of electroweak radiative corrections for Bhabha scattering at Belle II energies, incorporating both virtual and real photon effects.

Findings

Radiative corrections significantly affect Bhabha scattering cross sections.

The results enhance the precision of theoretical models for Belle II.

The calculation framework can be applied to future collider experiments.

Abstract

The Standard Model radiative corrections to the Bhabha scattering process are considered within the one-loop approximation. Both virtual corrections and corrections for the real photon emission are taken into consideration. The calculation was performed at the energy assumed at the Belle II (Japan) facility.
