Abstract

A method to calculate two-loop self-energy diagrams of the Standard Model is demonstrated. A direct physical application is the calculation of the two-loop electroweak contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon 1/2(g-2)μ. Presently, we confine ourselves to a ``toy'' model with only μ, γ and a heavy neutral scalar particle (Higgs). The algorithm is implemented as a FORM-based program package. For generating and automatically evaluating any number of two-loop self-energy diagrams, a special C-program has been written. This program creates the initial FORM-expression for every diagram generated by QGRAF, executes the corresponding subroutines and sums up the final results.
