Electroweak radiative corrections to single Higgs-boson production in e+e- annihilation
Abstract
We have calculated the complete electroweak O(alpha) radiative corrections to the single Higgs-boson production processes e+ e- --> nul anti-nul H (l=e,mu,tau) in the electroweak Standard Model. Initial-state radiation beyond O(alpha) is included in the structure-function approach. The calculation of the corrections is briefly described, and numerical results are presented for the total cross section. In the Gmu scheme, the bulk of the corrections is due to initial-state radiation, which affects the cross section at the level of -7% at high energies and even more in the ZH threshold region. The remaining bosonic and fermionic corrections are at the level of a few per cent. The confusing situation in the literature regarding differing results for the fermionic corrections to this process is clarified.
