Abstract
The lowest order radiative correction to the differential
cross-section of process of muon pair production with emission of hard photon
at high energy electron-positron annihilation are calculated.
Taking into account the emission of additional soft and hard photon
the cross-section can be put in the form of Drell-Yan process
in leading logarithmical approximation. Applying the crossing
transformation we obtain the cross section of radiative
electron-muon high-energy scattering process.
Virtual and soft photon emission contributions of non-leading form are
tabulated for several typical kinematical
points. The limit of small invariant mass of muon pair is in
agreement with our previous analysis.
