The forward-backward asymmetries of the processes e+e- -> Z -> b bbar and e+e- -> Z -> c cbar were measured from a sample of hadronic Z decays collected by the DELPHI experiment between 1993 and 1995. Enriched samples of b bbar and c cbar…

We calculate the ${\cal O}(\alpha_{{\rm ew}})$ electroweak radiative corrections to $e^+ e^- \to t \bar{t} h$ at a electron-positron linear collider (LC) in the standard model. We analyze the dependence of the ${\cal O}(\alpha_{{\rm ew}})$…
The Forward-Backward Asymmetry (AFB) in $Z^\prime$ physics is commonly only perceived as the observable which possibly allows one to interpret a $Z^\prime$ signal by distinguishing different models of such (heavy) spin-1 bosons. In this…
