abstract

We critically examine the validity of the Weizs\"acker-Williams approximation in electron-hadron collisions. We show that in its commonly used form it can lead to large errors, and we show how to improve it in order to get accurate results. In particular, we present an improved form that is valid beyond the leading logarithmic approximation in the case when a small-angle cut is applied to the scattered electron. Furthermore we include comparisons of the approximate expressions with the exact electroproduction calculation in the case of heavy-quark production.

Precision physics at the muon collider: $m_W$ and CKM matrix elements

hep-ph · 2026-05-20 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

A 10 TeV lepton collider using the effective gamma-W to W process could improve m_W precision beyond 10 MeV and extract CKM elements like V_cb with reduced hadronic uncertainties via high-precision hadronic calorimetry and flavor tagging.

Photoproduction in general-purpose event generators

hep-ph · 2024-06-12 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Systematic comparison of three event generators shows they describe photoproduction data adequately, with PYTHIA and SHERPA performing best, and identifies photon PDF refits plus RIVET measurements as prerequisites for EIC precision.
