Radiative Tail in Elastic Electron Scattering

Improved radiative corrections for (e, e'p) experiments: Beyond the peaking approximation and implications of the soft-photon approximation

“…The index i indicates that an infinite number of photons, each with an energy less than ω max , is emitted. Exponentiating δ brems leads to the correct asymptotic behaviour of the cross section (5) as ω max → 0.…”

“…Especially between the two radiation peaks due to electron bremsstrahlung the discrepancy with data becomes large (see fig. 3), limiting the accuracy of (e, e ′ p) data analyses [5,6]. .…”

QED radiative corrections to virtual Compton scattering

“…The radiative tail to elastic or inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering has been the subject of numerous studies in the literature [31,32,22,33]. The elastic radiative tail also makes a sizeable contribution to the cross sections for deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering (see e.g.…”

General Technique of Quasielastic Spectrum Study: Application toBe9

“…Bjorken,24 in solving the general problem of multiple radiation in a target, has also calculated the radiation cross section in the peaking approximation. Maximon et al 25 improve the peaking approximation given by Schiff, in calculating the neglected terms, but still using the static potential; the specific case of O 16 has been examined by means of an electronic computer. Ginsberg et al 26 calculate the radiation cross section, which is due to the static magnetic moment distribution as well as to the charge distribution, in the static approximation, and give numerical computation for specific cases.…”

“…M £or (ko/po)pn~] f°r the case k||s (or k||p) in the numerator terms everywhere there is a term of the form k • s (or k • p) in the denominator. We obtain S^ as the sum of the two following terms: (25) corresponds to the electron tensor without radiation.…”
