One-loop corrections for e +e - annihilation into μ+μ- in the Weinberg model

Analytical experessions for the e ⁺e ^- → μ⁺μ^- cross section including all the one-loop radiative corrections in the context of the Weinberg model are presented. The systematic calculation of one-loop diagrams has been carried out using a recently proposed scheme. Numerical results are shown in a region from 40-200 GeV c.m. energy and different values of the scattering angle; they indicate that the percentage corrections are mainly due to soft photons. The only departure from QED-like correction can be seen in a region where the lowest-order cross section is lowered by weak-e.m. interference. In that region hard photon contributions are relatively prominent and perhaps within experimental possibilities.
