Matching of perturbative and exponentiated initial state radiation corrections to $e^{+}{e}^{-}$-annihilation

Abstract

The behavior of higher-order radiative corrections due to initial state radiation in processes of electron-positron annihilation is analyzed. Numerical results for energies of future colliders are presented. Uncertainties of the known results on these corrections are estimated. A modified scheme for simultaneous exponentiation of pure photonic and non-singlet pair corrections is presented. Matching of the exponentiated results with the existing analytic higher-order calculations is constructed. A new DIS-like subtraction scheme is discussed.
