Abstract
A new Monte Carlo model is proposed for radiative corrections to Bhabh a scattering by extending QEDPS developed for multi-photon emission in muon pair production in e+e- annihilation. This is a QED version of t he model known as parton shower in QCD. The main difference between mu on pair production and Bhabha scattering is that the latter cross sect ion shows the singularity of 1/t2. A shower algorithm is constructed o n the radiator formalism modified in a suitable form for this singular ity. Some results of the model are presented and compared with O(alpha ) corrections.
