Radiating a photon from the initial state provides a useful tool for studying a range of low energy physics using a high-energy e+ e- accelerator. Accurate results require careful calculation of the first order virtual photon corrections.…
The $e^+e^- \to \gamma\gamma b\bar b$ is an irreducible background process in measuring the $H^0 \to \gamma\gamma$ decay width, if Higgs boson is produced in association with a $Z^0$-boson which subsequently decays via $Z^0 \to b\bar b$ at…
