We calculate the spin density matrix of top quark pairs for the reaction $e^+e^-\to t\bar{t}X$ to order $\alpha_s$. As an application we show next-to-leading order results for a variety of spin observables for the $t\bar{t}$ system. These…

In the framework of the perturbative QCD and the diquark model of baryons we have obtained the fragmentation functions for heavy quark that split into polarized Lambda_b baryons. We predict the longitudinal polarization asymmetry for the…
The three-loop QCD contributions to the vacuum polarization functions of the $Z$ and $W$ bosons at zero momentum are calculated. The top quark is considered to be massive and the other quarks massless. Using these results, we calculate the…
