摘要
A simple heuristic proof of infrared finiteness to all orders of perturbation theory is given for a class of observables in massless field theories including quantum chromodynamics. This class includes the average energy E(Ω) carried into a given solid angular region Ω by final-state particles in e+e- annihilation and its positive integral powers; it also includes energy correlations between different angular regions: E(Ω1)E(Ω2) ... E(ΩN). It is argued that appropriately defined inclusive jet cross sections are infrared finite, even for vanishing fractional energy resolutions. Extensions to lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions are described. © 1979.
