Heavy Quarks and Leptons at $e^+e^-$ Colliders

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The production of massive quarks and leptons in e+ee^+e^- collisions is studied using exact helicity amplitudes. Total cross sections as a function of ycuty_{\rm cut}, in both the JADE and the kTk_T algorithms, are presented and compared with massless results. Some invariant mass distributions are examined in relation to Higgs detection. Compact expressions for the helicity amplitudes are given.
