Electroweak corrections to three-jet production in electron-positron annihilation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-28 v2

Abstract

We compute the electroweak O(α3αs){\cal O}(\alpha^3\alpha_s) corrections to three-jet production and related event-shape observables at electron-positron colliders. We properly account for the experimental photon isolation criteria and for the corrections to the total hadronic cross section. Corrections to the three-jet rate and to normalised event-shape distributions turn out to be at the few-per-cent level.
