Exponenttation of Soft Photons in the Monte Carlo: the Case of Bonneau and Martin*
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown, explicitly, how to proceed in the Monte Carlo program in order to include multiple soft photon emission. The method is based on the rigorous theory for summing infrared contributions to the respective cross section by Yennie, Frautschi and Suura. Procedures are illustrated on the example of the initial state bremsstrahlung. One photon is allowed to be hard and an arbitrary number of real soft additional photons are confined to the neighborhood of the infrared point.
