Abstract:
I shall present a new, potentially very fruitful extension of the now
ten-years-old technique of the exclusive exponentiation within the
Monte Carlo event generators. It is also related to the Yennie-
Frautschi-Suura works on exponentiation, it goes however in a new
direction: the entire formulation of the exponentiation is now done in
terms of the spin amplitudes, instead of squared spin-summed
amplitudes. The advantages of the new method are numerous: the
QED interferences, like for example the initial-final state interferences
are handled easily and consistently, the non-IR virtual corrections are
generally simpler, the exact and efficient control of the spin
polarization effects is now available for all particles, the powerful
spinor techniques for calculating exact multiple bremsstrahlung spin
amplitudes becomes the inherent part of the exponentiation
technique. In the example of the resonant
annihilation, thanks to Monte Carlo technique the full scale quantum
mechanical coherence effects between the initial and final state photon
emission are implemented. We are able, for the final state with
photons, to sum up coherently over all partitions
of photons among initial and final state. With the Monte Carlo
technique the coherent sum is done without any approximations Ð
hard photons are included smoothly into the game, contrary to other
methods based on coherent states, semi-classical approximation,
soft-photon approximations etc. The MC event generators based on the
new techniques are of interest for LEP2, CLIC, TESLA, NLC and
-colliders. The sample numerical results from
new
event generator for
will be presented.
