The running of the electromagnetic coupling alpha in small-angle Bhabha scattering
arXiv:hep-ph/0402211 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s2004-01649-0
Abstract
A method to determine the running of alpha from a measurement of small-angle Bhabha scattering is proposed and worked out. The method is suited to high statistics experiments at e+e- colliders, which are equipped with luminometers in the appropriate angular region. A new simulation code predicting small-angle Bhabha scattering is also presented
