Abstract

We study the complete O(αew) electroweak (EW) corrections to the production of three Z0 bosons in the framework of the standard model (SM) at the ILC. The leading-order and the EW next-to-leading-order corrected cross sections are presented, and their dependence on the colliding energy s and Higgs-boson mass mH is analyzed. We investigate also the LO and one-loop EW corrected distributions of the transverse momentum of the final Z0 boson, and the invariant mass of the Z0Z0 pair. Our numerical results show that the EW one-loop correction generally suppresses the tree-level cross section, and the relative correction with mH=120  GeV(150  GeV) varies between −15.8%(−13.9%) and −7.5%(−6.2%) when s goes up from 350 GeV to 1 TeV.
