Analitical calculations have been used to describe the calorimeter event selection in small-angle electron-positron scattering at LEP1. The first-order QED correction to the Born cross-section has been derived with leading log and the…
Radiative corrections due to the production of virtual as well as real soft and hard pairs in small-angle Bhabha scattering are calculated analytically. Both the collinear and the semi-collinear kinematical regions of hard pair production…
For the small-angle Bhabha-scattering process, we consider the error budget for the calculation of the LEP/SLC luminosity in the Monte Carlo event generator BHLUMI 4.04, from the standpoint of new calculations of exact results for the…

Theoretical predictions for Bhabha scattering at the two-loop level require the inclusion of hadronic vacuum polarization in the photon propagator. We present predictions for the contributions from reducible amplitudes which are…
The two-loop radiative photonic corrections to the Bhabha scattering are computed in the leading order of the small electron mass expansion up to nonlogarithmic term. After including the soft photon bremsstrahlung we obtain the infrared…
