RadCor Working Group Meeting at JLab, 5/12/04


1. Introduction

This page is designed to help JLab users deal with the issue of radiative corrections in inclusive, semi-exclusive and exclusive electron scattering.

 

2. Available Codes


   POLRAD 2.0 (download
--- FORTRAN code for the RC procedure of experimental data in polarized inclusive  and semi-inclusive DIS.  The iteration procedure based on MINUIT fitting the data is included. Estimation of higher order  and electroweak corrections is done.

   DIFFRAD (download)
---  FORTRAN code for RC calculation in the processes of electroproduction of vector mesons. Versions with Monte Carlo and numerical integrations are available. Monte Carlo code allows to estimate RC to the quasi-real photoproduction case (i.e., the final electron is not detected)

   HAPRAD (download)
---   FORTRAN code for RC calculation in the processes of semi-inclusive hadron electroproduction. Versions with Monte Carlo and numerical integrations are available.

   RADGEN 1.01 (download)
--- Monte Carlo generator of radiative events in the DIS on polarized and unpolarized targets. Can be applied for RC generation in inclusive, semi-inclusive and exclusive DIS processes. This version uses a look-up table for photonic angles which provides for fast event generation. (Updated 4/7/04: improved quasi-elastic radiative tail for deuterium, thanks to A. Ilychev)

  AEEXB (MIT/Athens/VGA) (download)
--- Radiative corrections for (e,e'p) reactions

   ELRADGEN (Authors: A. Afanasev, I. Akushevich, A. Ilychev, B. Niczyporuk)
---  Monte Carlo generator of radiative events in the kinematics of elastic ep-scattering measurements.

   MASCARAD ( download)
--- FORTRAN code for RC calculation in elastic electron-nucleon scattering with a polarized target and/or recoil polarization. The experimental acceptances are accounted for.

  EXCLURAD (Authors: A. Afanasev, I. Akushevich, V. Burkert, K. Joo) ( more...)
--- FORTRAN code for RC calculation in the process of exclusive pi electroproduction on a nucleon.

  ESFRAD (Authors: A. Afanasev, I. Akushevich, N. Merenkov)
--- FORTRAN code for RC calculation in the processes of elastic, inelastic and deep inelastic scattering using the method of electron structure functions.

S IMC  (Maintained by J. Arrington)
--  Monte Carlo simulation package for elastic and inelastic electron scattering in coincidence.
