Description

The anomalous excess of soft photons radiated in inelastic hadronic collisions, has been a challenge over four decades. The problem is rooted in comparison with an incorrect model for radiative corrections, which is based on an illegitimate extension of the Low theorem to radiative multi-particle production processes $2\to n+\gamma$. It turns out to contradict the unitarity relation and the optical theorem. The alternative description of photon radiation within the light-front color-dipole phenomenology is found to be in a good accord with data.
