We discuss the characteristic interference features of soft radiation in the threshold production of heavy unstable particles: soft gluon radiation in $\ee \to \tt$ and soft photon radiation in $\ee \to \ww$. We show that the heavy particle…

The bremsstrahlung spectrum of photons accompanying $W$ pair production depends on the decay width of the unstable $W$ bosons. The dependence arises from the interference between emission at different stages of the production and decay…
The orthopositronium decay to three photons is studied in the phase-space region where one of the photons has an energy comparable to the relative three-momentum of the e+e- system (w ~ m alpha). The NRQED computation in this regime shows…
QCD predicts soft radiation patterns that are particularly simple for $W+ {jet}$ production. We demonstrate how these patterns can be used to distinguish between the parton-level subprocesses probabilistically on an event-by-event basis. As…
Soft photons produced in heavy ion collisions are an important tool for probing the properties of the quark-gluon plasma. It is therefore crucial to understand the background - soft photons produced in elementary collisions. Low theorem…
