Abstract

We use the theory of Yennie, Frautschi and Suura to realize, via Monte Carlo methods, the process f\bbbarff\bbbarf+nγf\,\bbbarf\to f'\,\bbbarf'+n\gamma at SSC and LHC energies, where ff and ff' are quarks or leptons. QED infrared divergences are canceled to all orders in perturbation theory. The resulting Monte Carlo event generator, SSC-YFS2, is used to study the effects of initial-state photon radiation on these processes in the SSC environment. Sample Monte Carlo data are presented and discussed. We find that the respective multiple-photon effects must be taken into account in discussing precise predictions for SSC physics processes.
