Radiative corrections in photon-photon collisions induced by e/sup +/e/sup -/ or e/sup + -/e/sup + -/ processes

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
In this work we present an evaluation of radiative corrections to order ..cap alpha../sup 5/ pertaining to ..gamma..-..gamma.. collision experiments performed with an e/sup + -/e/sup + -/ storage ring in which the electrons scattered are detected at small angle. We check that the infrared divergences originating from elastic corrections are canceled due to opposite divergences from real-photon bremsstrahlung. Numerical results for given experimental conditions allow one to compare the various contributions to radiative corrections in processes such as ee ..-->.. eeX with X = e/sup +/e/sup -/, ..mu../sup +/..mu../sup -/, ..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/.
