Two-loop Light Quark Corrections To The Top Width

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-03-02 v1

Abstract

A method of computing two-loop fermionic contributions to the width of a heavy quark is described. An analytical formula for this effect in the limit of mass of the quark much larger than the decay products is obtained for the first time. The result confirms previous numerical studies.
