Two-loop electroweak logarithms in four-fermion processes at high energy Original Research Article

We present the complete analytical result for the two-loop logarithmically enhanced contributions to the high energy asymptotic behavior of the vector form factor and the four-fermion cross section in a spontaneously broken image gauge model. On the basis of this result we derive the dominant two-loop electroweak corrections to the neutral current four-fermion processes at high energies. Previously neglected effects of the gauge boson mass difference are included through the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic approximation.
