Correlator with tensor currents and two masses at two loops
Abstract We calculate the vacuum-to-vacuum correlator of two flavour-non-diagonal tensor currents of massive quarks, retaining the full dependence on the two quark masses and the external momentum. For the first time, we include perturbative corrections up to next-to-leading order. Our fully analytical expressions are provided in machine-readable form. Furthermore, we present numerical results for various input parameters, including an estimate of the scale uncertainties. Our results are essential input for applications of dispersive methods, including unitarity bounds and QCD sum rules.
