Abstract

We analyze the radiative correction to high energy elastic electron-proton scattering of polarized electrons. We show that if the approximations inherent in the calculations developed by Tsai and given in the work of Mo and Tsai which have been used in the analysis of almost all experimental data pertaining to medium and high energy elastic electron scattering for the past three decades are maintained, then the same radiative correction applies both in the case of initially polarized and unpolarized electrons.
