چکیده
We discuss techniques for obtaining a numerically stable evaluation of the fully differential cross section for the virtual photon correction to single hard photon bremsstrahlung in two different computational schemes. We also compare the role of finite mass corrections in these schemes.

Comparisons of Fully Differential Exact Results for O ( α ) Virtual Corrections to Single Hard Bremsstrahlung in e + e − Annihilation at High Energies †
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 کاملComparisons of Exact Results for the Virtual Photon Contribution to Single Hard Bremsstrahlung in Radiative Return for e+e− Annihilation.†
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...

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...
