Separ<strong>at</strong>ely divergent although their sum is finite<br />
dσ A is a proper approxim<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> dσ R<br />
i. same singular behavior point-by-point<br />
ii. integrable over extra parton degrees <strong>of</strong> freedom<br />
Individual contributions finite. MC integr<strong>at</strong>ion can be performed !
