Precision Calculation of Bhabha Scattering at Lep
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the small-angle Bhabha-scattering process, we consider the error budget for the calculation of the LEP/SLC luminosity in the Monte Carlo event generator BHLUMI 4.04, from the standpoint of new calculations of exact results for the respective O(α 2) photonic corrections in the context of the Yennie-Frautchi-Suura exponentiation. We find that an overall precision tag for the currently available program BHLUMI 4.04 can be reduced from 0.11% to 0.061% at LEP1 and from 0.25% to 0.122% at LEP2. For the large-angle Bhabha process, we present the Monte Carlo program BHWIDE and compare its predictions with predictions of other Monte Carlo programs as well as semi-analytical calculations.

We discuss the possibility of a precision measurement of vacuum polarization in t-channel radiative Bhabha scattering at a high luminosity collider. For illustration, the achievable precision is estimated for the BaBar experiment at PEP-II and for the OPAL experiment at LEP.

The LEP ee collider at CERN operated for more than a decade: in 198995 at center of mass energies close to the Z peak (LEP-I); in 1996-2000 at higher energies, up to 209 GeV (LEP-II). In the first phase a large number of Z events were collected, of the order of 5 × 10 events per experiment. To match the inherent precision of this data sample, the error on the integrated luminosity had to be bet...
