The electron structure function method is applied to calculate model-independent radiative corrections to an<br />
asymmetry of electron-proton scattering. The representations for both spin-independent and spin-dependent parts of<br />
the cross section are derived. Master formulae take into account the leading correction in all orders and the main<br />
contribution of of the second order next-to-leading ones and have accuracy at the level of one per mille.<br />

1. MASTER FORMULA<br />
Precise polarization measurements in both inclusive<br />
and elastic scattering are crucial for understanding the<br />
structure and fundamental properties of a nucleon.<br />
One important component of the precise data analysis<br />
is radiative effects which always accompany the processes<br />
of electron scattering. The first calculation of radiative<br />
corrections (RC) to polarized deep-inelastic scattering<br />
(DIS) was done in [1,2] where the first order correction<br />
has been found.<br />
In present work we apply method of the electron<br />
structure function for calculation of RC. Within this approach<br />
DIS in one photon exchange approximation can<br />
be considered as the Drell-Yan process [3]. The corresponding<br />
cross section with accounting of RC can be<br />
written as an contraction of two electron structure functions<br />
and the hard part of the cross section [4,5]. Traditionally<br />
these RC include main effects caused by loop<br />
corrections as well soft and hard collinear photons and<br />
e + e<br />
− - pairs. But it was shown in [5] how one can improve<br />
this method by inclusion also effects due to radiation<br />
of one non-collinear photon. The corresponding<br />
procedure concludes in modification of the hard part of<br />
cross section that leads to exit beyond the leading approximation.<br />
A straightforward calculation based on the quasi-real<br />
electron method [6] can be used to write cross section of<br />
DIS process<br />

The matrix element squared of the considered process<br />
in one photon exchange approximation is proportional<br />
to contraction of leptonic and hadronic tensors.<br />
The representation (2) reflects the properties of leptonic<br />
one. Therefore, it has universal nature and can be applied<br />
to processes with different final hadronic states. In<br />
particular, we can use the electron structure function ap-<br />

proach to compute RC to the elastic and deep-inelastic<br />
electron-proton scattering cross sections.<br />
On the other hand, the straightforward calculation in<br />
the first order with respect to α [1,2,6] and the recent<br />
calculation of the leptonic current tensor in the second<br />
order [7-10] for longitudinally polarized initial electron<br />
demonstrate that in the leading approximation spin-independent<br />
and spin-dependent parts of this tensor are the<br />
same for so-called nonsinglet channel contribution. The<br />
latter corresponds to photon radiation and e + e - -pairs production<br />
through single-photon mechanism. The difference<br />
appears in the second order due to possibility of<br />
pair production by double-photon mechanism [10].<br />
Therefore, the representation (2), being slightly modified,<br />
can be used for calculation of RC to cross sections<br />
of different processes with longitudinally polarized electron<br />
beam.<br />
In our recent work [11] we applied this method to<br />
compute RC to the ratio of the recoil proton polarizations<br />
measured in CEBAF Jefferson Lab [12], where the<br />
proton electric form factor G e was measured. In the<br />
present work we use the electron structure function<br />
method for calculation of model-independent part of RC<br />
to asymmetry in scattering of longitudinally polarized<br />
electrons on polarized protons at the level of per mile<br />
accuracy for elastic and deep-inelastic hadronic events.<br />
The cross section of the scattering of the longitudinally<br />
polarized electron by the proton with given longitudinal<br />
(l) or transverse (t) polarization for both elastic<br />
and deep-inelastic events can be written as a sum of its<br />
spin-independent and spin-dependent parts<br />

where S is 4-vector of the target proton polarization and<br />
η is the product of the electron and proton polarization<br />
degrees. Herein after we assume η = 1.<br />
The master equation (2) describes the RC to spin-independent<br />
part of the cross section on the right side of<br />
Eq. (5) and the corresponding equation for the spin-dependent<br />
part reads<br />

The representation (6) is valid if radiation of<br />
collinear particles does not lead to change polarization<br />
4-vectors. In general case it is not so [13] but in this paper<br />
we will use just such polarizations which satisfy this<br />
conditions (see next Section)<br />

therefore, RC to asymmetry requires the knowledge of<br />
RC to both spin-independent and spin-dependent parts.<br />
2. THE LEAD<strong>IN</strong>G APPROXIMATION<br />
Within the leading accuracy (taking into account<br />
terms of the order (αL) n ) the electron structure functions<br />
can be computed in all orders of the perturbation theory.<br />
In this approximation we have to take the Born cross<br />
section as hard part in integrands of master Eqs. (2), (6).<br />
We express the Born cross section in terms of leptonic<br />
and hadronic tensors as follows<br />

In Eqs. (8) we assume the proton and electron polarization<br />
degrees equal to unity. The proton structure functions<br />
F 1, F 2 and g 1, g 2 depends on variables x′=-q 2 /2p 1q,<br />
q 2 =(p x-p) 2 . In Born approximation, x′ =x but they differ<br />
in general case, when radiation of photons and electronpositron<br />
pairs are allowed.<br />
It is convenient to express the 4-vector of proton polarization<br />
in terms of 4-momenta of particles in process<br />

Thus, within the leading accuracy, the radiatively corrected<br />
cross section of the process (1) is defined by<br />
Eq. (2) for its spin-independent piece with (10) as a hard<br />
cross section into integrand and by Eq. (6) with (11) or<br />
(12) as the hard part for its spin-dependent piece.<br />
It is useful to extract the leading first order correction<br />
to the Born approximation as defined by master<br />
Eqs. (2), (6). For this purpose we can use the structure<br />
function D γ with L → L − 1 and<br />

Note that quantity r 1(r 2) coinsides with z 1(1/z 2) for radiation<br />
of a single collinear photon. The hard cross section<br />
(14) has neither collinear nor infrared singularities. The<br />
different terms on the right-hand side of Eq. (14) have<br />
singularities at r=r 1, r=r 2 and γ=1. Singularities at first<br />
two points are collinear and at third one is unphysical<br />
that arise at integration. Collinear singulariries vanish<br />
due to action of operators P<br />
ˆt<br />
and P ˆs on the terms containing<br />
N. The unphysical singulariry cancels because in<br />
the limiting case r → 1 we have<br />

The polarized hard cross section (15) as well is free<br />
from any singularities. Note that radiation of photon at<br />
large angles by the initial and final electrons increases<br />
the region of variation for quantity r in (14) and (15),<br />
because for collinear radiation r 1 < r < r 2 and now we<br />
have r - < r 1 and r + > r 2. It may be important if the hadron<br />
structure functions are large in these additional regions.<br />

The function δ ( 1 − x ′ ) is used to perform the integration<br />
with respect to inelasticity z .<br />

4. HARD CROSS SECTION<br />
FOR <strong>ELASTIC</strong> HADRONIC EVENTS<br />
To describe the hard cross section for elastic hadronic<br />
events we use the replacement given after formulae<br />
(9) in expressions (14) and (15). For Born cross sections,<br />
which enter in these equations, see Eqs. (10-12).<br />

In this paper we consider model-independent QED<br />
radiative correction to the polarized DIS and elastic<br />
electron-proton scattering. Our calculations are based on<br />
the electron structure function method which allows to<br />
write both the spin-independent and spin-dependent<br />
parts of the cross section with accounting RC to the leptonic<br />
part of interaction in the form of well-known<br />
Drell-Yan representation. The corresponding RC includes<br />
explicitly the first order correction as well as the<br />
leading-log contribution in all orders of perturbation<br />
theory and the main part of the second order next to<br />
leading-log one. Moreover, any model-dependent RC to<br />
the hadronic part of interaction can be included in our<br />
analytical result by insertion it as an additive part of the<br />
hard cross section in integrand in master equations.<br />
To derive RC, we take into account radiation of photons<br />
and e + e - -pairs in collinear kinematics which produces<br />
a large logarithm L in the radiation probability (in<br />
D-functions) and radiation of one non-collinear photon<br />
that enlarges the limits of variation of the hadron structure<br />
function arguments. It may be important that these<br />
functions are sharp enough. In this case the loss in radiation<br />
probability (the loss of L) can be compensated by<br />
the increase in the value of the hard cross section.<br />
On the basis of our analytical result we constructed<br />
Fortran code ESFRAD (http://www.jlab.org/~aku/RC) and<br />
perform some numerical estimations [15] for kinematical<br />
conditions of current and future experiments. We<br />
found two regions where the higher order radiative corrections<br />
can be important. These are the traditional region<br />
of high y and the region around the pion threshold.<br />
