CompleteO(α) corrections to polarized Compton scattering

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

General expressions for Compton scattering and itsO(α) real and virtual corrections are given for electron and photon beams with arbitrary polarization. The expressions obtained are suitable for use in Monte Carlo simulations of Compton polarimeters planned for polarizede + e − colliders. The basis for the calculation is the spinor techniques recently applied to photon and gluon bremsstrahlung. The practical application of these techniques for massive fermions is discussed.
