High order radiative corrections for unpolarized electron proton elastic scattering at low $Q^2$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-05-26 v1

Abstract

We investigate the effect of high order radiative corrections in unpolarized electron proton elastic scattering and compare with the calculations at lowest order, which are usually applied to experimental data. We show that higher order terms play a role, starting from values of the momentum transfer squared, Q2Q^2, larger than the electron mass. Particular attention is devoted to the ϵ\epsilon dependence of radiative corrections.
