Bhabha Scattering at High Energies
نویسنده
چکیده
A study of the process, e+e---) e+e-7, where at least one electron scatters at a small angle is presented. Calculations of the process to order o3 and cr4 are reviewed and compared with data from the PEP storage ring. An analysis of data from the Mark II detector shows good agreement with the order cx4 calculation for e7 final states. Preliminary results from the ASP detector agree well with the order a3 and o4 predictions for single particle configurations. Talk presented at the Lake Louise Winter Institute, Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, February 15-21, 1987 * Work supported by the Department of Energy, contract DEAC03-76SF00515.

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...

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 کاملCompositeness Test at the FMC with Bhabha Scattering
It is possible that quarks and/or leptons have substructure that will become manifest at high energies. Here we investigate the limits on the muon compositeness scale that could be obtained at the First Muon Collider using Bhabha scattering. We study this limit as a function of the collider energy and the angular cut imposed by the detector capability.
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 کاملVirtual hadronic and leptonic contributions to Bhabha scattering.
Using dispersion relations, we derive the complete virtual QED contributions to Bhabha scattering due to vacuum polarization effects. We apply our result to hadronic corrections and to heavy lepton and top quark loop insertions. We give the first complete estimate of their net numerical effects for both small and large angle scattering at typical beam energies of meson factories, the CERN Large...
