Optimization of factorization scale in QED Drell-Yan-like processes
Abstract
The dependence of corrections due to the initial state radiation in e+ e--annihilation processes on the choice of the factorization scale is investigated. Different prescriptions of the factorization scale choice are analyzed within the leading and next-to-leading logarithmic approximations. Comparisons with the known complete two-loop results are used to optimize the scale choice.
