Abstract: The lowest order radiative correction to the differential cross-section of process of muon pair production with emission of hard photon at high energy electron-positron annihilation are calculated. Taking into account the emission of additional soft and hard photon the cross-section can be put in the form of Drell–Yan process in leading logarithmical approximation. Applying the crossing transformation we obtain the cross section of radiative electron–muon high-energy scattering process. Virtual and soft photon emission contributions of non-leading form are tabulated for several typical kinematical points. The limit of small invariant mass of muon pair is in agreement with our previous analysis.
