It is shown that up to an over all scale the lowest-order QCD corrections to $t\to H^+b$ and to $t\to W^+b$ are the same in the heavy top limit. Asymptotically, they are given by $-{4\alpha_s\over 3\pi}[{\pi^2\over 3}-{5\over 4}]$,…

We present O(alpha_s^2) corrections to the decay t-->bW in the limit of a very large top quark mass, m_t >> m_W. We find that the O(alpha_s^2) effects decrease the top quark decay width Gamma_t by about 2%: Gamma_t =…

We consider the rare decay channels of the $Z$ boson: $Z \to \text{two}\ \textrm{jets} + \gamma$ and $Z \to \text{two}\ \textrm{jets} +2\, \gamma$. To obtain the widths and distributions for these processes, we compute the effect of NLO QCD…
