Applicability of the formulae of Bardin and Dokuchaeva for the radiative corrections analysis in the NuTeV experiment

TL;DR

This paper examines how the application of Bardin and Dokuchaeva's radiative correction formulae may have contributed to the NuTeV anomaly, highlighting potential issues in the data analysis of neutrino scattering experiments.

Contribution

It identifies a possible source of the NuTeV anomaly related to the improper use of specific electroweak radiative correction formulae in neutrino scattering analysis.

Findings

Potential misapplication of correction formulae in NuTeV analysis

Implication of radiative correction methods on experimental results

Highlighting the need for proper correction procedures

Abstract

We point out one of the possible sources of the "NuTeV anomaly": the effect of the non-adequate application of the one-loop electroweak radiative corrections including QED hard photon emission derived by Bardin and Dokuchaeva (1986) in the NuTeV radiative corrections data analysis of deep inelastic neutrino and anti-neutrino deep inelastic scattering.
