Abstract

We analyze the impact of using $b$ -tagged samples in studying non-Abelian effects due to QCD in $e^+e^-\ar 4$ jet events at $\sqrt s=M_{Z^0}$ , using angular variable analyses and comparisons with $e^+e^-\ar 3 \mbox{jet}\gamma$ events. We find that QCD effects are largely enhanced in $b$ -quark samples with respect to `unflavoured' ones, where energy-ordering is used to distinguish between gluon and quark jets. We show that the $b$ -quark mass influences the angular distributions significantly and should not be neglected
