QCD soft gluon exponentiation: YFS MC Approach

Abstract

We develop and prove the theory of the QCD extension of the YFS Monte Carlo approach to higher order QED radiative corrections. As a corollary, a new approach to quantum gravity by one of us (B.F.L.W.) is illustrated. Semi-analytical results and preliminary explicit Monte Carlo data are presented for the processes p-bar p -> t-bar t + X at FNAL energies. We comment briefly on the implications of our results on the CDF/D0 observations and on RHIC/LHC physics.
