Contribution of the elastic radiative tail to the deep inelastic muon scattering on heavy targets

Abstract

Improvement of the radiative correction scheme for the deep inelastic scattering on the heavy targets is discussed. Arguments that the contribution of the radiative tail from the elastic peak should be calculated without use of the Born approximation in the case of the heavy target scattering are presented. The semianalytical approach based on the classical solution of the old bremsstrahlung problem is shortly described. The numerical results for the new correction factor are presented for the scattering on tin and lead.
