Radiative Correction Schemes in Deep Inelastic Muon Scattering

Abstract

A description and a detailed comparison of the Mo and Tsai and the Dubna radiative correction schemes is presented. Numerical comparisons made in the kinematical region of the NMC high energy deep inelastic electroproduction experiment are discussed. An overall agreement between the two approaches in the region of low $x$ and high $y$, where the radiative corrections are largest, is better than 2$\%$.
