Pati 1975

1) The document reports errata for two previous physics papers published in Physical Review D. 2) The first erratum notes an error in an expression on page 1437 of a 1972 paper on Compton scattering. 3) The second erratum notes an error in a 1974 paper on lepton number as the fourth "color". It corrects the deduction that the dominant decay mode of certain gluons would be to a muon and photon, stating that decays to hadrons in an isospin-zero, SU(3) singlet state plus a photon are expected to be dominant instead.

Errata

Erratum: Compton scattering. II. Differential cross sections and left-right asymmetry
[Phys. Rev. D 6, 1428 (1972)]
Wu-yang Tsai, Lester L. DeRaad, Jr, and Kimball A. Milton

There is an error in the expression for M4 on p. 1437. The third line of this expression should read
4 2IP —5K+4 (K —2) (2/P —3K+3) K (K —2)
d (z —1)' ( —1)'d d'(a —1)'

Erratum: Lepton number as the fourth "color"
