Upgrade of the Monte Carlo program BHLUMI for Bhabha scattering at low angles to version 4.04
نویسنده
چکیده
The new version of the Monte Carlo program for small-angle Bhabha scattering BHLUMI with an overall precision of 0.11% is presented. The main improvements are in the matrix element of the main multi-photon sub-generator based on the Yennie-Frautschi-Suura exponentiation, where the missing second-order terms in the leading-logarithmic (LL) approximation are supplemented and the contribution from the Z resonance is improved. In the LUMLOG sub-generator based on the LL approximation, we implement collinear photon emission in the nal state and we also add a down-graded third-order LL matrix element, which has exactly the same incomplete third-order LL contribution as the multi-photon BHLUMI. The new LUMLOG is therefore capable of calculating the missing third-order LL part in the cross sections obtained from the main multi-photon event generator, for arbitrary event selection. The rst-order event generator OLDBIS remains unchanged.

Precision 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...
متن کاملBBBREM – Monte Carlo simulation of radiative Bhabha scattering in the very forward direction
A fast and simple Monte Carlo program is presented that simulates single Bremsstrahlung in Bhabha scattering, ee → eeγ, without constraints on scattering angles. This allows the study of this process at arbitrarily small, or even vanishing, scattering angles. Experimental cuts can be imposed on an event-by-event basis, allowing for detailed studies of the process as a limitation to beam lifetim...
متن کاملRadiative Bhabha Scattering for Singly Tagged and Untagged Configurations
A method for simulating radiative Bhabha scattering for configurations where one or both electrons do not scatter appreciably is presented. Double radiative Bhabha scattering is included by using the equivalent photon approximation. Results from a Monte Carlo event generator are shown for two experimental configurations. When an electron and photon scatter at large angles, the contribution from...
متن کاملCERN - European Organization for Nuclear Research
Procedures for correcting the beam-beam effects in luminosity measurement at CLIC at 3 TeV CM energy are described and tested using Monte Carlo simulations: • Correction of the angular counting loss due to the combined Beamstrahlung and initial-state radiation (ISR) effects, based on the reconstructed velocity of the collision frame of the Bhabha scattering. • Deconvolution of the luminosity sp...
متن کاملBHAGENE3, A MONTE CARLO EVENT GENERATOR FOR LEPTON PAIR PRODUCTION AND WIDE ANGLE BHABHA SCATTERING IN e+e− COLLISIONS NEAR THE Z-PEAK
A new Monte Carlo event generator for wide angle Bhabha scattering and muon pair production in e+e− collisions is described. The program includes complete one-loop electroweak corrections, and QED radiative corrections. The O(α) QED correction uses the exact matrix element. Higher order QED corrections are included in an improved soft photon approximation with exponentiation of initial state ra...
