Subtraction with hadronic initial states at NLO: an NNLO-compatible scheme

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-12-04 v2

Abstract

We present an NNLO-compatible subtraction scheme for computing QCD jet cross sections of hadron-initiated processes at NLO accuracy. The scheme is constructed specifically with those complications in mind, that emerge when extending the subtraction algorithm to next-to-next-to-leading order. It is therefore possible to embed the present scheme in a full NNLO computation without any modifications.
