QCD Corrections to Hadronic Z and tau Decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-03-16 v2

Abstract

We present a brief (mainly bibliographical) report on recently performed calculations of terms of order O(\alpha_s^4 n_f^2) and O(\alpha_s^4 n_f^2 m_q^2) for hadronic Z and \tau decay rates. A few details about the analytical evaluation of the masters integrals appearing in the course of calculations are presented.
