Abstract: To describe low-energy (anti)neutrino fluxes in modern coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments as well as high-energy fluxes in precision-frontier projects such as the Enhanced NeUtrino BEams from kaon Tagging (ENUBET) and the Neutrinos from STORed Muons (nuSTORM), we evaluate (anti)neutrino energy spectra from radiative muon ($$), pion $p{i}_{ell2}$ ($$), and kaon $K_{ell2}$ ($$) decays. We compare detailed $mathrmOleft(alphaight)$ distributions to the well-known tree-level results, investigate electron-mass corrections and provide energy spectra in analytical form. Radiative corrections introduce continuous and divergent spectral components near the endpoint, on top of the monochromatic tree-level meson-decay spectra, which can change the flux-averaged cross section at $6imes10^{-5}$ level for the scattering on ${}^{40}mathrmAr$ nucleus with (anti)neutrinos from the pion decay at rest. Radiative effects modify the expected (anti)neutrino fluxes from the muon decay around the peak region by $3-4$ permille, which is a precision goal for next-generation artificial neutrino sources.
