We review the status of Monte Carlo generators presently used for simulations of the large–angle Bhabha process at electron–positron colliders of moderately high energy (flavour factories), operating at centre–of–mass energies between about 1 GeV and 10 GeV. It is shown how the theoretical accuracy reached by present Bhabha programs for physics at flavour factories is at the level of 0.1% and, ...
متن کاملTwo-loop QED Corrections to Bhabha Scattering
Bhabha scattering, ee → ee, is a crucial process in the phenomenology of particle physics. Its relevance is mainly due to the fact that it is the process employed to determine the luminosity L at ee colliders: in fact, L = NBhabha/σth, where NBhabha is the rate of Bhabha events and σth is the Bhabha scattering cross section calculated from theory. Two kinematic regions are of special interest f...

This work deals with the computation of electron pair correction to small angle Bhabha scattering, in order to contribute to the improvement of luminometry precision at lep/slc below 0.1% theoretical accuracy. The exact qed four-fermion matrix element for e + e − → e + e − e + e − , including all diagrams and mass terms, is computed and different Feynman graph topologies are studied to quantify...
متن کاملOn Large-Angle Bhabha Scattering at LEP
The theoretical accuracy of the program TOPAZ0 in the large-angle Bhabha channel is estimated. The physical error associated with the full Bhabha cross section and its forward and backward components separately is given for some event selections and several energy points of interest for LEP1 physics, both for the s and non-s contributions to the cross section.

متن کاملPrecision Calculation of Bhabha Scattering at Lep
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 availab...
