Electroweak corrections to high energy processes using effective field theory
Electroweak corrections to high energy processes using effective field theory
Electroweak Sudakov logarithms at high energy, of the form $(\ensuremath{\alpha}/{sin}^{2}{\ensuremath{\theta}}_{W}{)}^{n}{log}^{m}s/{M}_{Z,W}^{2}$, are summed using effective theory methods. The corrections are computed to processes involving two external particles in the standard model. The results include nonzero particle masses, such as the $t$-quark mass, electroweak mixing effects which lead to unequal $W$ and …
