QED correction to radiative tail from elastic peak in DIS

Abstract

We calculate DIS cross section under kinematical requirements when a final hadron state is a single proton. The process in the lowest order is known as radiative tail from elastic peak. We take into account correction, coming from emission of virtual and soft real photons, to the amplitude of this process as well as the one, induced by emission of additional hard photon and a hard pair. Resulting contributions of these channels are presented in the leading and, partly, next-to-leading logarithmic approximations. Some general expressions for the photon contributions are given. Numerical results are presented for kinematical conditions of the current experiments on DIS.
