====== TTP04-07 The radiative return at Phi- and B-factories: FSR for muon pair production at next-to-leading order ====== Muon pair production through the radiative return is of importance for a measurement of the hadronic production cross section in two ways: it provides an independent calibration and it may give rise to an important background for a measurement of the pion form factor. With this motivation the Monte Carlo event generator PHOKHARA is extended to include next-to-leading order radiative corrections to the reaction $e^+e^-\to \mu^+\mu^-\gamma$. Furthermore, virtual ISR corrections to FSR from pions are introduced, which extends the applicability of the generator into a new kinematical regime. Finally, the effect of photon vacuum polarization is introduced into this new version of the generator. |**H. Czyz, A. Grzelinska, J. H. K"uhn, G. Rodrigo** | |** Eur.Phys.J.
