Radiative corrections in photon-photon collisions induced bye+e−ore±e±processes

Abstract
In this work we present an evaluation of radiative corrections to order α5 pertaining to γγ collision experiments performed with an e±e± storage ring in which the electrons scattered are detected at small angle. We check that the infrared divergences originating from elastic corrections are canceled due to opposite divergences from real-photon bremsstrahlung. Numerical results for given experimental conditions allow one to compare the various contributions to radiative corrections in processes such as eeeeX with X=e+e,μ+μ,π+π
