Next-to-leading mass singularities in two-loop electroweak singlet form factors
read the original abstract
We consider virtual electroweak corrections to the form factors for massless chiral fermions coupling to an SU(2)xU(1) singlet gauge boson in the asymptotic region $s\gg M_W^2$, where the invariant mass $s$ of the external gauge boson is much higher than the weak-boson mass scale. Using the sector-decomposition method we compute mass singularities, which arise as logarithms of $s/M_W^2$ and $1/\epsilon$ poles in $D=4-2\epsilon$ dimensions, to one- and two-loop next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. In this approximation we include all contributions of order $\alpha^l \epsilon^{k} log^{j+k}(s/M_W^2)$, with $l=1,2$ and $j=2l,2l-1$. We find that the electroweak two-loop leading- and next-to-leading-logarithmic mass singularities can be written in a form that corresponds to a generalization of Catani's formula for massless QCD.
