Abstract:
Inclusion of the QED higher-order radiative corrections in the two-photon
process e+e- →e+e-µ+µ- is examined by means of
the structure function and the parton shower. Results are compared with
the exact O(α) calculations, and good agreement is found. These two
methods should be universally applicable to all non-annihilation
processes, such as the single-W production in e+e- collisions.
In this case, however, the energy scale for the evolution given by
the renormalization-group equation must be chosen properly, depending on
the dominant diagrams for the given process. A method to determine the most
suitable energy scale is proposed.
