The numerical study of QED radiative corrections in the low x region for the H1 experiment at HERA was performed. The analytical program TERAD91 was used to obtain the values of the radiative correction factor for the first measurement of the proton structure function F2(x,Q2) in the range x= 10^{-2} - 10^{-4} and 5 < Q2 < 80 GeV2.
The numerical study of QED radiative corrections in the low $x$ region for the H1 experiment at HERA was performed. The analytical program TERAD91 was used to get the size of the radiative corrections for the measurement of the proton structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ in the range $x= 10^{-2} - 10^{-4}$ and $ 5 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 80 GeV^2$. It was found that radiative corrections can be not small in some points of the phase space of the mixed variables.
We use the semi-analytical program RCFORGV to evaluate radiative corrections to one-photon radiative emission in the high-energy scattering of pions in the Coulomb field of a nucleus with atomic number Z. It is shown that radiative corrections can simulate a pion polarizability effect. The average effect was estimated for pion energies 40-600 GeV. We also study the range of applicability of the equivalent photon approximation in describing one-photon radiative emission.
A numerical analysis of QED radiative corrections for elastic e(mu)p cattering in hadronic variables at energies of the current experiment at JLab is performed. The explicit formulas from the review of Akhundov et al. resulting from the integration over the phase space of leptonic variables plus photon are used to obtain the values of the cross sections and the radiative correction factor for unpolarized lepton-proton scattering. Our numerical results agree with the corresponding results arising from the formulas of Afanasev et al.
In the framework of the effective field theory (EFT) we discuss the electroweak (EW) corrections at LEP energies. We obtain the effective Lagrangian in the large m_t limit, and reproduce analytically the dominant EW corrections to the LEP2 processes e+ e- --> gamma Z and e+ e- --> Z Z. To include effects of finite top-quark and Higgs masses, we use the effective Lagrangian at tree level and fit LEP1/SLD observables with four arbitrary parameters, plus alpha_s(m_Z). The EFT approach works remarkably well. Using the effective couplings determined from the fit, and tree-level EFT formulae, we predict the cross sections for e+ e- --> Z Z, gamma Z at a level better than 1%.
