There are contributions from
four 2-loop self-energies. SE3lx,SE5lx:
A complete set of six 2-loop self energy master integrals,
which is sufficient to calculate all the 2-loop Feynman diagrams
There are contributions from

V5l2mx,V5l3mx:
The six 2-loop vertex MIs with five internal lines

For the calculation of a
certain diagram out of the set of diagrams
[SE1,..Se4,V1,..V5,B1,..B6] only a certain subset of master integrals
will be needed. In the next three tables, a '+'
means that the corresponding master integral contributes to the
diagram. 2LSE:
list of tadpole and self energy master integrals
needed for each of the 2-loop self energy diagrams
2LVB:
list of tadpole, self energy and vertex master
integrals needed for each of the 2-loop vertex and box
diagrams in a model with flavor number Nf=1. 2LB:
list of box master integrals needed for each of the 2-loop
box diagrams.
The file
contains the analytical
expressions for all the self energy and vertex master integrals
needed, and also for few of the box master integrals, which we
calculated so far. Our set of master integrals
includes also masters which were calculated earlier by other groups.
For some time there was a disagreement of the
following master integrals in MastersBhabha.m
with expressions published earlier (see also hep-ph/0406203
[.ps]):
SE3l1m, SE3l2mN, V4l3md,
V4l4m, V4l4mN, V6l4m1, B4l2m, B5l4m, B5l4mN

a short presentation of our approach in the 2-loop project.
The Feynman
Diagrams
The virtual QED corrections
are due to the following collection of Feynman diagrams in
2-loop order: set
1/8, set 2/8, set
3/8, set 4/8, set
5/8, set 6/8, set
7/8, set 8/8
2-loop
order, 1PI diagrams only
The Master
Integrals
Such a calculation contains
several key elements. The corrections may be written in terms of some
set of scalar integrals, which are then subject of reliable
analytical and/or numerical evaluation. A non-trivial problem is the
determination of a sufficiently small, but complete set of scalar
integrals, the so-called master integrals.
There are only few
different topologies of diagrams to be calculated, they include
Self-energies
Diagram SE1 is needed for the
evaluation of the Bhabha cross section, and SE2 to SE4 are needed for
the renormalization of external fermion legs:
Vertices
A complete set of nineteen
2-loop vertex master integrals, which is sufficient to calculate
all the vertex and box Feynman diagrams:
Boxes
A complete set of thirty
three 2-loop box master integrals, which is sufficient to
calculate all the box Feynman diagrams:
1-loop masters
Who needs whom?
In the following table, we indicate the number of
(2-loop + 1-loop) master integrals needed to calculate the 2-loop
vertex diagrams V1 to V5 and box diagrams B1 to B6:
Stars denote 1-loop MIs, and the terminus 'oms' means
on-mass-shell.
For the 2-loop master integrals, we indicate also
the reference if the master is known analytically (status of June
2004).
V4 and B5 (and the
corresponding masters) have also to be determined for Nf>1 cases.
Explicit analytical
expressions for master integrals
The analytical expressions are numerically
checked using sector decomposition as proposed in [11,12].
The
master integrals are identified with the names of the masters as
given in the figures accessible above on this page.
Comparisons
For references we refer to the tables given above: 2LSE,
2LVB, 2LB.
In comparisons, one has to take into account the different
normalizations of the master integrals as well as the different
definitions of their series expansions in (d-4).
For the references [3] and [9] Errata have been prepared by the authors and
FORM files with analytical expressions with the master integrals
of
[3]
and of
[9]
habe been made available at the
Bhabha
scattering web pages at Freiburg University.
