Abstract

A unified treatment of radiative corrections to a class of scattering experiments is presented. The experiments considered are those in which either (but not both) the scattered or recoil particle is detected. The recoil kinematics are properly treated and the calculation is simplified by retaining only terms of logarithmic order. The general results are applied to specific practical examples in which radiative corrections are likely to be important. Except possibly for the case of Compton scattering with nearly maximum or nearly minimum momentum transfer, the errors are estimated to be less than 2% of the cross section.
