Radiative corrections are crucial for modern high-precision physics experiments, and are an area of active research in the experimental and theoretical community. Here we provide an overview of the state of the field of radiative corrections with a focus on several topics: lepton-proton scattering, QED corrections in deep-inelastic scattering, and in radiative light-hadron decays. Particular emphasis is placed on the two-photon exchange, believed to be responsible for the proton form-factor discrepancy, and associated Monte-Carlo codes. We encourage the community to continue developing theoretical techniques to treat radiative corrections, and perform experimental tests of these corrections.
辐射修正对于现代高精度物理实验至关重要,并且是实验和理论学界积极研究的领域。在此,我们概述辐射修正领域的现状,重点关注几个主题:轻子 - 质子散射、深度非弹性散射中的量子电动力学修正以及辐射性轻强子衰变。特别强调了被认为是导致质子形状因子差异的双光子交换以及相关的蒙特卡罗代码。我们鼓励学界继续开发处理辐射修正的理论技术,并对这些修正进行实验测试。
