Abstract
The process of muon (pion) pair production with small invariant
mass in electron-positron high-energy annihilation, accompanied by emission
of a hard photon at large angles, is considered. We find that the Drell-Yan
picture for the differential cross section is valid in the charge-even
experimental set-up. Radiative corrections both for the electron block and
for the final state block are taken into account.
