Radiative effects in scattering of polarized leptons by polarized nucleons and light nuclei

Recent developments in the field of radiative effects in polarized lepton-nuclear scattering are reviewed. The processes of inclusive, semi-inclusive, diffractive and elastic scattering are considered. The explicit formulae obtained within the covariant approach are discussed. FORTRAN codes POLRAD, RADGEN, HAPRAD, DIFFRAD and MASCARAD created on the basis of the formulae are briefly described. Applications for data analysis of the current experiments on lepton-nuclear scattering at CERN, DESY, SLAC and TJNAF are illustrated by numerical results.Comment: 39 pages, 12 figures, contribution to Lepton-Photon 0

Radiative corrections to the lepton current in unpolarized elastic lplp-interaction for fixed Q2Q^2 and scattering angle

The kinematical difference between the description of radiative effects for fixed $Q^2$ vs a fixed scattering angle in the elastic lepton-proton ($lp$)-scattering is discussed. The technique of calculation as well as explicit expressions for radiative corrections to the lepton current in unpolarized elastic $lp$-scattering for these two cases are presented without using an ultrarelativistic approximation. A comparative numerical analysis within kinematic conditions of Jefferson Lab measurements and MUSE experiment in PSI is performed.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, published in European Physical Journal A Topical Issue 'An Experimental Program with Positron Beams at Jefferson Lab
