Higher-order corrections to the energy-loss cross sections of high-energy muons — •Alexander Sandrock and Jan Soedingrekso — Technische Universität Dortmund

Over a large part of the energy range investigated by very large volume neutrino telescopes such as IceCube, pair production and bremsstrahlung dominate the energy loss of muons. The theoretical uncertainties on the energy loss cross sections influence the experimental results as systematic uncertainties. This contribution presents calculations of higher-order corrections to decrease these uncertainties for pair production and bremsstrahlung.
