<p><strong>Precision Radiative Corrections for Next Generation

<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>
