Application:Eikonal approximation
Emission of absorption of soft particle cause hardly any recoil to a fast moving source.
The eikonal approximation origins in the application of Maxwell electromagnetism theory to geometric optics by Bruns (1895).
In the quantum electrodynamics field theory, the eikonal approximation implies that the denominator of the relativistic propagator, which connecting with the soft photon can be linearized. In this case, the contributions from the soft photos to the hard source can be summed as an exponential. Therefore, the eikonal approximation is an idea tool in the treatment of the corrections of the soft gluons to the high energy processes.

Therefore, we can only keep the forward- and backward-components for a fast quark and soft gluon, respectively.

A fast parton moving along the y--direction can not collinear couple with any gluons in the light-cone gauge since the vertex with two collinear backward partons are inhibited.
