# tests/test_radiative.py — RadiativeCorrection unit tests """ Why test this? -------------- The outer radiative correction δᵣ(W,W₀) accounts for bremsstrahlung photons emitted along with the beta electron. It's typically a small positive correction (~0.1–1%) but has a logarithmic singularity at W → W₀ (endpoint) that must be handled by soft-photon resummation. Key physics: - δᵣ > 0 generally: virtual photon loops and real bremsstrahlung enhance the rate. - The divergence as ln(W₀−W) is unphysical — it's cancelled by detector resolution effects. Our implementation uses Eq.(53) resummation to tame this. We test: 1. **No NaN/inf at endpoint**: With resummation, R(W→W₀) must be finite. Without it, the logarithm diverges — we verify both modes work correctly. 2. **Small correction magnitude**: δᵣ is O(α/π) ≈ 0.001–0.01, so R = 1+δᵣ should be close to unity (within a factor of ~2). 3. **Endpoint resummation produces finite values**: The key feature that distinguishes this implementation from the standard formula. Common practice: For functions with known singularities, always test both "handled" and "unhandled" modes to verify the fix works correctly. This is exactly what `use_endpoint_resummation` does here.
