Abstract: (APS)
It is shown, explicitly, how to proceed in the Monte Carlo program in order to include multiple-soft-photon emission. The method is based on the rigorous method of summing infrared contributions to the respective cross section by Yennie, Frautschi, and Suura. Procedures are illustrated on the example of the initial-state bremsstrahlung. One photon is allowed to be hard and an arbitrary number of real soft additional photons are confined to the neighborhood of the infrared point.
