The forward-backward asymmetry ine + e −→μ+μ−

Comparisons between the theoretical calculations at the one-loop level in the standard model and with the experimental measurements

Abstract

The problems involved when comparing theoretical predictions with experimental measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry ine + e −→μ+μ− are reviewed and a model independent method for presenting future experimental results is proposed. Calculations of the one-loop radiative corrections in the standard model are compared numerically and found to be in quite good agreement. Comparisons of theory at the one-loop level are made with published experimental data, taking care properly to account for any radiative corrections which have been applied.
