Radiative corrections in e+e− collisions with the BabaYaga event generator

The Monte Carlo event generator BabaYaga has been developed in the last decade for high precision simulation of QED processes (e+e− → e+e−, e+e− → μ+μ− and e+e− → γγ) at flavour factories, mainly for luminometry purposes, with an estimated theoretical accuracy at the 0.1% level or better. The releva...
