Radiative corrections for (e,e ' p) reactions at GeV energies - art. no. 054610

\A general framework for applying radiative corrections to (e,e'p) coincide nce reactions at GeV energies is presented, with special emphasis to hi.-he r-order bremsstrahlung effects, radiation from the scattered hadron, and th e validity of peaking approximations. The sensitivity to the assumptions ma de in practically applying radiative corrections to (e,e'p) data is extensi vely discussed. The general framework is tested against experimental data o f the H-1(e,e'p) reaction at momentum transfer values larger than 1.0 (GeV/ c)(2), where radiative processes become a dominant source of uncertainty. T he formulas presented here can easily be modified for any other electron-in duced coincidence reaction.
