| Popis: | We consider radiative corrections to polarization observables in elastic electron-proton scattering, in particular, for the polarization transfer measurements of the proton form factor ratio $\mu G_E/G_M$. The corrections are of two types: two-photon exchange (TPE) and bremsstrahlung (BS); in the present work we pay special attention to the latter. Assuming small missing energy or missing mass cut-off, the correction can be represented in a model-independent form, with both electron and proton radiation taken into account. Numerical calculations show that the contribution of the proton radiation is not negligible. Overall, at high $Q^2$ and energies the total correction to $\mu G_E/G_M$ grows, but is dominated by TPE. At low energies both TPE and BS may be significant; the latter amounts to ~ 0.01 for some reasonable cut-off choices. Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures |
