We calculate the supersymmetric QCD corrections in order $\alpha_s$ to the cross section $e^+ e^- \to \sq_i \bar\sq_j$ $(i,j = 1, 2)$ within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We pay particular attention to the case of the…

We have recently calculated the second-order QCD corrections to the forward-backward asymmetry in e+e- annihilation (hep-ph/9905424). Here we recall the results and compare them to others in the literature.
Misprints in the C_F^2 part of the splitting function \Delta P_{gq}^(1) Eq. (3.29) are corrected. Due to a minus sign error between the C_F^2- 1/2 C_A C_F piece and the remaining part of Eq. (A.4), Eq. (3.46) is changed. Finally…
