Infrared Divergences in $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow 2\; jets$ in the Light Front Coherent State Formalism

We study infrared (IR) divergences in light front quantum chromodynamics using a coherent state basis in light front time-ordered Hamiltonian perturbation theory. In computation of the S-matrix elements in Hamiltonian formalism, the IR divergences appear in the form of vanishing energy denominators. We consider the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow 2\; jets$ at $\mathcal{O}(g^{2})$ in strong coupling, construct the coherent state representing the outgoing particles, and explicitly show that the `true' IR divergences cancel to this order when the matrix elements are calculated between coherent states instead of Fock states.
