Abstract
The electromagnetic radiative correction to the cross section of
the vector meson electroproduction is calculated. Explicit covariant
formulae for the observed cross section are obtained. The dependence of the
radiative correction on the experimental resolution and on the inelasticity
cut is discussed. The FORTRAN code DIFFRAD, based on both exact
(ultrarelativistic) and approximate sets of the formulae for the radiative
correction to the cross section, is presented. Detailed numerical analysis
for kinematical conditions of the recent experiments on the diffractive
electroproduction of vector mesons is given.
