Radiative Corrections to Bremsstrahlung in Radiative Return
نویسنده
چکیده
Radiating a photon from the initial state provides a useful tool for studying a range of low energy physics using a high-energy ee accelerator. Accurate results require careful calculation of the first order virtual photon corrections. We compare exact results for initial state radiative corrections, finding agreement to an order of 10 or better as a fraction of the Born cross-section for most of the range of photon energies, at CMS energies relevant in both high-energy collision and radiative return experiments.

We describe radiative corrections to bremsstrahlung and their application to high energy collider physics, focusing on the applications to luminosity measurement, fermion pair production and radiative return. We review the status of one loop radiative corrections in BHLUMI and the KKMC, including cross checks with newer results developed independently for radiative return. We outline a YFS-expo...
متن کاملRadiative Corrections to High Energy Lepton Bremsstrahlung on Heavy Nuclei
One-loop radiative corrections to the leptonic tensor in high energy bremsstrahlung on heavy nuclei are calculated. Virtual and real photon radiation is taken into account. Double bremsstrahlung is simulated by means of Monte Carlo. Numerical results are presented for the case of muon bremsstrahlung in conditions of the COMPASS experiment at CERN.

We compare fully differential exact results for the virtual photon correction to single hard photon bremsstrahlung obtained using independent calculations, both for ee annihilation at high-energy colliders and for radiative return applications. The results are compared using Monte Carlo evaluations of the matrix elements as well as by direct analytical evaluation of certain critical limits. Spe...

We present comparisons of the fully differential exact virtual correction to the important single hard bremsstrahlung process in e + e − annihilation at high energies , which is essential for precision studies of the Standard Model from 1 GeV to 1 TeV, as calculated by two completely independent methods and groups. We show that the two sets of results are in excellent agreement. Phenomenologica...
متن کاملThe Virtual Correction to Bremsstrahlung in High - Energy e + e – Annihilation : Comparison of Exact Results
We have compared the virtual corrections to single hard bremsstrahlung as calculated by to several other expressions. The most recent of these comparisons is to the leptonic tensor calculated by J.H. Kühn and G. Rodrigo for radiative return. Agreement is found to within 10 −5 or better, as a fraction of the Born cross section, for most of the range of photon energies. The massless limits have b...
