M. Beccaria et al., RISING BOSONIC ELECTROWEAK VIRTUAL EFFECTS AT HIGH-ENERGY E(-) COLLIDERS - ART. NO. 093014()E(), Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 5809(9), 1998, pp. 3014
The virtual massive gauge boson effects on several observables in the
process of charged fermion pair production at e(+)e(-) colliders are c
omputed up to the TeV energy range in the standard model, working in t
he ''Z-peak-subtracted'' representation. It is shown that these effect
s increase regularly with energy, approaching the typical 10% relative
size. A careful numerical evaluation is proposed, where the condition
s dictated by gauge invariance are consistently implemented. [S0556-28
