Description

We present an implementation of the nested soft-collinear subtraction scheme for color singlet decay processes at NNLO. The scheme is of particular utility in the typically poorly convergent subtracted double-real emission corrections. We demonstrate the cancellation of soft and collinear singularities through scaling behaviour analysis. We also discuss possible avenues to parton shower matching and the general implementation into the MCFM Monte Carlo program.
