A novel subtraction scheme for double-real radiation at NNLO
read the original abstract
A general subtraction scheme, STRIPPER (SecToR Improved Phase sPacE for real Radiation), is derived for the evaluation of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD contributions from double-real radiation to processes with at least two particles in the final state at leading order. The result is a Laurent expansion in the parameter of dimensional regularization, the coefficients of which should be evaluated by numerical Monte Carlo integration. The two main ideas are a two-level decomposition of the phase space, the second one factorizing the singular limits of amplitudes, and a suitable parameterization of the kinematics allowing for derivation of subtraction and integrated subtraction terms from eikonal factors and splitting functions without non-trivial analytic integration.
