Title: Electroweak radiative corrections for polarized Moeller scattering at the future 11 GeV JLab experiment

Journal Article · · Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We perform updated and detailed calculations of the complete next-to-leading order set of electroweak radiative corrections to parity-violating e{sup -}e{sup -}{yields}e{sup -}e{sup -}({gamma}) scattering asymmetries at energies relevant for the ultraprecise Moeller experiment to be performed at JLab. Our numerical results are presented for a range of experimental cuts and the relative importance of various contributions is analyzed. We also provide very compact expressions analytically free from nonphysical parameters and show them to be valid for fast, yet accurate estimations.
