Abstract

The cross-section of (quasi-)elastic large-angle electron-positron scattering at high energies is calculated. Radiative corrections of the orders O(α2 L2) and O(α2 L), besides pure two-loop box contributions, are explicitly calculated. In the second order we considered the following sources of corrections: 1) Virtual photonic corrections coming from squares of 1-loop level amplitudes and their relevant interferences (vertex-type and box-type Feynman diagrams). 2) Double soft photon emission and one-loop corrections to single soft photon emission. The results are presented in an analytical form.
