Modern lepton-scattering experiments at medium to high energy achieve a precision that requires an accurate understanding of radiative corrections, including the re- sulting uncertainties of relevant observables in the given experimental setting. The development of associated tools is a subject of active research. It is a showcase for a fruitful interplay between theoretical and experimental efforts, and of particular importance with regard to the ongoing experimental program at Jefferson Lab and to the future Electron-Ion Collider at the Brookhaven National Lab.

This Topical Collection focuses on spin-polarized and unpolarized fixed target ex- periments with electrons, e⁺e⁻ collisions, meson decays, and elastic e^±p and μ^±p scattering, from both experimental and theoretical perspectives.

The articles included in the Topical Collection are available here and are freely accessible until 16 July 2025. For further information read the Editorial.
