Exponentiation of soft photons in a process involving hard photons.
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a simple method of removing the singularities associated with soft photon emission to all orders in perturbation theory through exponentiation, while keeping a consistent description of hard photon emission. We apply this method to the process e + e ? ! + ? + n where we include both Z 0 and exchange and retain the muon mass dependence. The photonic radiation is allowed to be radiated oo any charged leg, and so we include all initial and nal state radiation, as well as all interference eeects. The eeect of exponentiation is to suppress soft photon emission over the cross-section you would obtain from working at strictly leading order. We also show how one would extend the method to treat the collinear singularity; and remove the associated leading mass logarithms.

We derive compact analytical formulae of the Bonneau-Martin type for the reaction e + e − → ¯ f f γ with cuts on minimal energy and acollinearity of the fermions, where the photons may be emitted both from the initial or final states. Soft photon exponentiation is also taken into account. One of the cleanest scattering processes at elementary particle accelerators is fermion-pair production in ...

متن کاملHigher order QED corrections to muon decay spectrum
Radiative corrections to polarized muon decay spectrum of the second and higher orders in αQED are considered. Leading and next–to–leading logarithmic approximations are used. Exponentiation of soft photons is discussed. The present theoretical uncertainty of the spectrum description is estimated.
متن کاملA Practical Approach for Exponentiation of QED Corrections in Arbitrary Processes
It is a well-known fact that, among the electroweak corrections, QED radiation gives the largest contribution and the needed precision requires a re-summation of the large logarithms which show up in perturbation theory. For annihilation processes, ee → ff , initial state radiation is a definable, gauge-invariant, concept and one has general tools to deal with it; the structure function approac...
