Violation of the factorization theorem in large angle radiative Bhabha scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v3

Abstract

The lowest order QED radiative corrections to the radiative large angle Bhabha scattering process in the region where all kinematic invariants are large compared to the electron mass are considered. We show that the leading logarithmic corrections do not factorize before the Born cross section, contrary to the picture assumed in the renormalization group approach. The leading and non leading contributions for typical kinematics of the hard process at the energy of the Φ\Phi factory are estimated.
