Infrared Safe observables<br />
An obser vable is infrared safe if it is insensitive <strong>to</strong><br />
SOFT radiation:<br />
Adding any number of infinitely soft particles should not<br />
change the value of the obser vable<br />
COLLINEAR radiation:<br />
Splitting an existing particle up in<strong>to</strong> two comoving particles<br />
each with half the original momentum should not change<br />
the value of the obser vable<br />
