This allows the study of this process at arbitrarily small, or even vanishing, scattering angles. Experimental cuts can be imposed on an event-by-event basis, allowing for detailed studies of the process as a limitation to beam lifetimes, or a luminosity-measuring device, in e+e- storage rings. As an application, we show that the easy introduction of a cutoff parameter, corresponding to the characteristic distance between particles in the bunches, gives a reduced cross section that is in good agreement with observation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1994-01-26T10:17:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "monte carlo simulation", "radiative bhabha scattering", "forward direction", "simple monte carlo program", "simulates single bremsstrahlung" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Comput.
