Diffractive and radiative corrections to muon energy loss cross-sections — •Alexander Sandrock — Bergische Universität Wuppertal

High-energy muons can travel large distances before reaching underground detectors, for example cosmic-ray detectors and neutrino telescopes. The accurate simulation of muon transport through matter is therefore especially important for underground experiments. The dominant energy loss processes are ionization and at higher energies pair production, bremsstrahlung and inelastic interaction with nuclei. To reduce uncertainties in the simulation of muon transport, the calculation of higher-order corrections to these cross-sections is necessary. In this contribution, diffractive and radiative corrections to the cross-sections of bremsstrahlung and pair production are discussed.
