Using two different approaches, we perform detailed calculations of the one-loop (Next-to-Leading Order (NLO)) electroweak radiative corrections to the parity violating e{sup −} e{sup −} → e{sup −} e{sup −}(γ) scattering asymmetry. First approach, more classical, relies on calculations “by hand” with reasonable approximations, second approach relies on program packages FeynArts, FormCalc, LoopTools, and FORM. The detailed numerical analysis of the various contributions is provided for a wide range of energies relevant for the ultraprecise 11 GeV MOLLER experiment planned at the JLab, as well as future experiments at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The numerical results obtained within the on-shell renormalization scheme using two different sets of renormalization conditions are in excellent agreement. We also calculate the total NLO correction in the Constrained Differential Renormalization (CDR) scheme. Analysis of the results, along with the increasing experimental precision, shows that it is feasible that the corrections at the Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO) level may be important for the next generation of experiments.
