Electroweak effects in polarized muon-electron scattering

Abstract

A theoretical description of elastic polarized muon-electron scattering is presented. Complete one-loop electroweak radiative corrections are calculated with taking into account the exact dependence on the muon mass. The effects due to some higher-order corrections and the electroweak scheme dependence are analyzed. The case of longitudinally polarized fermions in the initial state is investigated. Analytical results are derived with the help of the sanc system. Numerical results are presented for unpolarized and polarized cross sections. Calculations are realized in the Monte Carlo integrator mcsancee and generator renesance, which allow the implementation of any experimental cuts used in the analysis of elastic μ-e scattering data.
