Abstract

The paper investigates contributions of γ, Z, W and ghost intermediate states of box-type to the parity-violating Moller scattering asymmetry up to two-loop level. Using the Yennie–Frautschi–Suura factorization form for amplitudes, we demonstrate that QED corrections, with an exception of vacuum-polarization effects, cancel at the asymmetry level. We obtain chiral amplitudes at Born, one-loop and partially at two-loop level: ladder boxes and decorated boxes. Our calculations are relevant for the ultra-precise 11 GeV MOLLER experiment planned at Jefferson Laboratory. The numerical comparison of the two-loop contributions with the experimental accuracy of MOLLER is provided.
