Soft-photon radiative corrections to the e−p→e−pl−l+ process
2021
We calculate the leading-order QED radiative corrections to the process ${e}^{\ensuremath{-}}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}p{l}^{\ensuremath{-}}{l}^{+}$ in the soft-photon approximation, in two different energy regimes which are of relevance to extract nucleon structure information. In the low-energy region, this process is studied to better constrain the hadronic corrections to precision muonic hydrogen spectroscopy. In the high-energy region, the beam-spin asymmetry for double-virtual Compton scattering allows us to directly access the generalized parton distributions. We find that the soft-photon radiative corrections have a large impact on the cross sections and are there…
Leading-order QED radiative corrections to timelike Compton scattering on the proton
2021
We evaluate the leading-order QED radiative corrections to the timelike Compton scattering (TCS) process $\gamma p \to l^- l^+ p$. We study these corrections in two energy regimes using different models for the TCS amplitude. In the low-energy regime we calculate the contribution due to the proton and its lowest-energy excitation, the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance. In the high-energy near-forward kinematical regime we calculate the TCS amplitude in a handbag approach in terms of Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs). On the level of cross sections we find the QED radiative corrections to be in the $5 -10\%$ range in the low-energy regime and around $20\%$ in the high-energy regime. We show tha…
