Initial-Final-State Interference in the Z line-shape
arXiv:hep-ph/9907547 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(99)01047-3
Abstract
The uncertainty in the determination of the Z line-shape parameters coming from the precision of the calculation of the Initial-State Radiation and Initial--Final-State Interference is 2 10**(-4) for the total cross section sigma zero(had) at the Z peak, 0.15 MeV for the Z mass M Z, and 0.1 MeV for the Z width Gamma Z. Corrections to Initial--Final-State Interference beyond \Order{α^1} are discussed.
