Radiative Corrections to Moller Scattering of Polarized Particles

Abstract

Principal contributions to QED radiative effects for Moller scattering of polarized particles are investigated both on the Born level and taking into account radiative corrections (RC). Scattering on the case of longitudinal and transversal polarized targets is also considered. In a general way the expressions for differential cross section and polarization asymmetry (PA) have been defined, and respective graphics for longitudinal and transversal polarization asymmetries and also for radiative corrections to asymmetry are presented. All quantities are presented in terms of covariant variables. The ultrarelativistic approximation was applied for calculations. The results of a computer run are presented.
