It is described how the method of sector decomposition can serve to disentangle overlapping infrared singularities, in particular those occurring in the calculation of the real emission part of e+e- to 2 jets and e+e- to 3 jets at NNLO.
We evaluate all phase space master integrals which are required for the total cross section of generic 2 -> 1 processes at NNLO as a series expansion in the dimensional regulator epsilon. Away from the limit of threshold production, our…
