Abstract · v1

The MOLLER experiment will measure the parity-violating asymmetry of Møller scattering to 2.4%. We present its fermionic and bosonic two-loop electroweak corrections to the zeroth and first orders in 1−4sin⁡2θW1-4\sin^2θ_W. Light quarks enter through vacuum polarization from e+e−e^+e^- data or lattice QCD. For sin⁡2θ^W(MZ)=0.23122\sin^2\hatθ_W(M_Z) = 0.23122 and an 11 GeV beam, the weak charge of the electron is 0.04546(8)0.04546(8) (data) or 0.04517(5) (lattice). Two-loop terms contribute 1.5% of it. Uncomputed terms are estimated at 4% of the experimental goal; the data-lattice difference, about 25% of that goal, limits the prediction.
