<p>A majority of approved physics experiments that will be running
with 12-GeV electron beams at JLab require at least a per-cent
accuracy in the measurements of differential cross sections and
polarization asymmetries, making electromagnetic corrections
crucial for interpretation of data. Recent Jefferson Lab
measurements of single-spin asymmetries from two-photon exchange
(TPE) in DIS revealed the effect is at a per-cent level, making
TPE a high-priority issue for SIDIS analysis of single-spin
asymmetries, and will also be of concern for deep-exclusive
processes. Extension and further development of the theoretical
and computational approaches to higher-order QED effects for
electron scattering is an outstanding problem for the upcoming
physics analysis effort at JLab.</p>
<p>The workshop on "Precision Radiative Corrections for Next
Generation Experiments" will address outstanding issues of QED
radiative effects for several critical research areas including:</p>
<ol style="margin-left:55px;" type="a">
<li>Studies of nucleon's Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs)
and Transverse Momentum Distributions (TMDs)</li>
<li>Measurements of the elastic form factors and resonance
transition form factors of the nucleon</li>
<li>Effects of nuclear medium on the properties of hadrons</li>
<li>Search for physics beyond the Standard Model of electroweak
interactions</li>
</ol>
<p>Dedicated sessions will address items involving radiative
corrections, including:</p>
<ol style="margin-left:55px;">
<li>Structure Functions from models and phenomenology, needed as
input for radiative correction calculations</li>
<li>Different MC programs using radiative effects</li>
<li>Integration of Radiative corrections into the extraction chain
(in particular extraction of 3D PDFs from data)</li>
<li>TPE-induced electromagnetic effects and T-odd contributions</li>
</ol>
<p>One of the main goals of the Workshop will be the development
of a clear and specific plan for providing radiative corrections
in the extraction of 3D PDFs, GPDs and form factors in nucleons
and nuclei, thereby supporting the JLab12 physics program as well
as the development of a strong physics case for the Electron Ion
Collider.</p>
