GENERAL RENORMALIZATION OF THE GAUGE-INVARIANT PERTURBATION EXPANSION NEAR THE Z(0) RESONANCE

It was recently shown how to construct, to arbitrary accuracy, a perturbative expansion near the Z0 resonance that is exactly gauge invariant at each order. Here, a scheme-independent renormalization of the standard model is performed and the counter-term structure arising in the expansion for calculations to O(alpha) is given. The results can be easily specialized to the on-shell and MSBAR renormalization schemes and are useful for studying the numerical differences between the two.
