The authors use the theory of Yennie, Frautschi and Suura to realize, via Monte Carlo methods, the process f{bar f} {r_arrow}f{prime}{bar f}{prime} + n{gamma} at SSC and LHC energies, where f and f{prime} are quarks or leptons. QED infrared divergences are canceled to all orders in perturbation theory. The resulting Monte Carlo event generator, SSC-YFS2, is used to study the effects of initial-state photon radiation on these processes in the SSC environment. Sample Monte Carlo data are presented and discussed. The authors find that the respective multiple-photon effects must be taken into account in discussing precise predictions for SSC physics processes.
