Electroweak Radiative Corrections to AA -> W+W-
Abstract
We discuss the complete virtual and soft-photonic O(alpha) corrections to AA -> W+W- within the electroweak Standard Model for arbitrary polarized photons. In the on-shell renormalization scheme for fixed MW no leading corrections associated with the running of alpha or heavy top-quark and Higgs-boson masses occur. The corrections turn out to be of the order of 10%, but can become much larger where the lowest-order cross-sections are suppressed.
