Top quark production in electron-positron annihilation is one of the benchmark reactions at a future linear collider. Both electroweak and QCD corrections are large, amounting to 10% or even more in specific kinematic regions. In this note…
We compute the supersymmetric QCD corrections to the polarization and the spin correlations of top quarks produced above threshold in e+e- collisions, taking into account arbitrary longitudinal polarization of the initial beams.
We calculate the cross section of the process e^+e^- \to t\bar t near threshold by resumming Coulomb-like terms with next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) accuracy. The nonrelativistic Green function formalism and the method of ``direct matching''…

Top quark polarization in $e^+e^-$ annihilation into $t\bar t$ is calculated for linearly polarized beams. The Green function formalism is applied to this reaction near threshold. The Lippmann--Schwinger equations for the $S$-wave and…

We analyze the four-fermion reactions e+e- -> 4f containing a single top quark and three other fermions, a possible decay product of the resonant anti-top quark, in the final state. This allows us to estimate the contribution of the…

The partial widths are determined for stop decays to top quarks and gluinos, and gluino decays to stop particles and top quarks (depending on the masses of the particles involved). The widths are calculated including one-loop SUSY-QCD…
Recent evidence for the top mass in the region of 160 $GeV$ for the first time provides an opportunity to use the full power of relativistic quantum field theoretical methods, available also for weakly bound systems. Because of the large…

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…
