For high energies of colliding e/sup +/e/sup -/, ep, and ..gamma..e beams in processes of bremsstrahlung and production of e/sup +/e/sup -/ pairs, an important role is played by impact parameters much greater than the transverse dimensions of the beams. This leads to a decrease of the number of observed events in comparison with the standard calculations. Exact formulas and a number of convenient approximate formulas are obtained for the number of events in an arbitrary reaction with allowance for the finite dimensions of the beams. Concrete calculations are given for production of e/sup +/e/sup -/ pairs.The deviations from the standard calculations for e/sup +/e/sup -/ collisions under the conditions of LEP, SLC, and VLEPP are 1, 4, and 15%, respectively, and for ..gamma..e collisions under the conditions of SLC and VLEPP they are 20 and 35%, respectively.
