Photon pair production at flavour factories with per mille accuracy
read the original abstract
We present a high-precision QED calculation, with 0.1% theoretical accuracy, of two photon production in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation, as required by more and more accurate luminosity monitoring at flavour factories. The accuracy of the approach, which is based on the matching of exact next-to-leading order corrections with a QED Parton Shower algorithm, is demonstrated through a detailed analysis of the impact of the various sources of radiative corrections to the experimentally relevant observables. The calculation is implemented in the latest version of the event generator BabaYaga, available for precision simulations of photon pair production at $e^+ e^-$ colliders of moderately high energies.

Disperon QED
Disperon QED is a new technique that feeds experimental data into higher-order QED loop calculations in Monte Carlo generators via dispersion relations and threshold subtraction.
