We address the problem that the cross section for the collisions of unstable particles diverges, if calculated by standard methods. This problem is considered for beams much smaller than the decay length of the unstable particle, much larger than the decay length and finally also for pancake- shaped beams. We find that in all cases this problem can be solved by taking into account the production/propagation of the unstable particle and/or the width of the incoming wave packets in momentum space.

Unitarity Cuts, t-channel Divergences and the KLN Theorem for Unstable Particles
Authors formulate prescriptions for KLN cancellations of t-channel divergences in an unstable-particle model, showing scheme-independent results and steps toward finite inclusive observables.
