TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:1444352 L3 - citeulike-article-id:1444352 N2 - In this paper we describe a program (SOPHTY) implementing QED corrections to decays in the HERWIG++ event generator. In order to resum the dominant soft emissions to all orders, the program is based on the YFS formalism. In addition, universal large collinear logarithms are included and the approach can be systematically extended to incorporate exact, process specific, higher order corrections to decays.
