By measuring at least three out of the four variables: energy and production angle of the lepton and the hadron system, the energy of the ISR photon emitted under zero degrees can be determined. The ISR effect is illustrated for experimentation at HERA with different methods of kinematic reconstruction.26 pages including 16 figuresHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentThe Kinematics of Deep Inelastic Scattering in the Presence of Initial State Radiationtext
