Abstract
Born differential cross sections and the lowest-order radiative
correction to them are obtained in the kinematics of large-angle final
photons emission in high-energy electron-positron annihilation
processes. Taking into account possible emission of real soft
and hard photons in collinear kinematics we show the validity of the
Drell-Yan form of differential cross section with the nonsinglet
structure functions of initial leptons. The leading and next-to leading
contribution to the cross sections is obtained.
The relevant numerical estimations are presented.
