Abstract: (arXiv)
Parity-violating (PV) elastic electron-proton scattering measures Q-weak for the proton, . To extract from data, all radiative corrections must be well-known. Recently, disagreement on the gamma-Z box contribution to has prompted the need for further analysis of this term. Here, we support one choice of a debated factor, go beyond the previously assumed equality of electromagnetic and gamma-Z structure functions, and find an analytic result for one of the gamma-Z box integrals. Our numerical evaluation of the gamma-Z box is in agreement within errors with previous reports, albeit somewhat larger in central value, and is within the uncertainty requirements of current experiments.- 13.40.Ks
