Abstract
The dominant electromagnetic radiative corrections to neutral current deep inelastic scattering at HERA energies have been calculated analytically in collinear approximation for unpolarized beams. The results may be used for the construction of an event generator and are applied to discuss the influence of cuts on the magnitude of the correction. For final state collinear photon emission the measurement of the resulting electromagnetic jet (electron plus collinear photon) reducesx-andy-dependence of the correction factor. Electromagnetic corrections to charged current interactions are discussed in leading logarithmic approximation.
