3 The Luminosity Monitor Luminosity of a collider depends on the machine and the beam: all is complicated (not mentioning errors estimation) dn dt = L(t), N = σ better is to choose a well known process: L = 1 σ Bhabha N Bhabha then we may determine any cross section in (1) dtl(t) = σl (1)

4 Kinematical Regions for Bhabha Two regions where the Bhabha-scattering cross section is large and QED dominated p1 p3 p2 p4 s = (p 1 +p 2 ) 2 = 4E 2 > 4m 2 e, s 10 2 GeV small θ SABS L at LEP, ILC a few degrees t = (p 1 p 3 ) 2 = 4 (E 2 m 2 e ) sin2 θ 2 < 0 s 1-10 GeV large θ LABS L at KLOE θ

Closed fermionic loop can be muon, tau, top or light quarks. In general, box B5 is a 4-scale problem: m e, m f, s, t(u).

Penin confirmed by independent calculation [Becher-Melnikov 07]

10 Heavy Fermions with IR Matching excluding O(m 2 e/s) [Penin 05]: photonic corrections follow from a change in the regularization scheme M(m = 0, 1/ǫ ) M(ln(s/m }{{} e) 2, ln(λ 2 /m }{{} e) 2 ) + δm }{{} IR and collinear collinear IR [Mitov-Moch 06]: for 2 n QED/QCD scattering process M(m 0) = j Z 1/2 j M(m = 0) Z j = F D(Q 2, m 0) F D (Q 2, m = 0) [Becher-Melnikov 07]: in QED assuming m 2 e << m 2 f << s, t, u heavy fermions can be included M(m 0) = j Z 1/2 j S(m f ) M(m = 0) }{{} process dependent
