Abstract

We study the impact of the full O(αs){\cal O}(\alpha_{s}) QCD and O(αew){\cal O}(\alpha_{ew}) electroweak (EW) radiative corrections to the e+ettˉZ0e^+e^- \to t \bar t Z^0 process in the standard model (SM), and investigate the dependence of the lowest-order(LO), one-loop QCD and EW corrected cross sections on colliding energy s\sqrt{s}. The LO, QCD and EW corrected spectrums of the invariant mass of ttˉt\bar t-pair and the distributions of the transverse momenta of final top-quark and Z0Z^0-boson are presented. The numerical results show that the one-loop QCD correction enhances the LO cross section, but the EW one-loop correction generally suppresses the LO cross section with our chosen parameters. In the case of mH=120GeVm_H=120 GeV, the QCD relative corrections can reach 43.16% when s=500GeV\sqrt{s} = 500 GeV, while the EW relative corrections have the values of -9.24%, -4.36% and -5.81%, when s=500GeV\sqrt{s} = 500 GeV, 800GeV800 GeV, 1.2 TeV$, respectively.
