Z0POLE — A program to calculate the electroweak and QCD radiative corrections to e+e- → f f near the Z0 resonance

Abstract
We describe the program Z0POLE that evaluates the one-loop electroweak radiative corrections to the process e^+ e^-→ ff (f ≠ e^- ) near the Z^0resonance. QCD corrections are included up to O(α^3 _s ) for light-quark doublets and up to O(m^2 _( t)α_s ) for the t-b quark doublet. The program uses a calculational strategy that is based firmly on analytic S-matrix theory. It produces results that are demonstrably exactly gauge-invariant and that can be extended to include still higher-order...

Title of program: Z0POLE
Catalogue Id: ACJK_v1_0

Nature of problem
Comparison between experimental results and theoretical predictions for the process e+e- -> ffbar near the Z0 resonance requires that electro- weak and QCD radiative corrections be taken into account. Possible future upgrades of the LEP collider will require that present calculations be extended to at least include dominant two-loop corrections. For this to be achieved a rigourous one-loop calculation based on a self-consistent perturbation expansion is needed.

摘要
本文介绍程序Z0POLE，用于计算正电子-负电子湮灭至正反费米子（f≠电子）过程在Z⁰共振峰附近的单圈电弱辐射修正。针对轻夸克双重态，量子色动力学（Quantum Chromodynamics, QCD）修正已被计入至α_s³阶；针对顶-底夸克双重态，QCD修正被计入至m_t²α_s阶。该程序采用严格基于解析S矩阵（analytic S-matrix）理论的计算策略，所得结果可证明具备严格的规范不变性，且可进一步扩展以纳入更高阶修正……

问题背景
在Z⁰共振峰附近开展e⁺e⁻→ff̄过程的实验结果与理论预言对比时，需计入电弱与QCD辐射修正。未来大型正负电子对撞机（Large Electron-Positron Collider, LEP）的升级计划，要求当前的计算至少扩展至包含主要两圈修正。为达成这一目标，亟需基于自洽微扰展开的严格单圈计算方案。
