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 =…

In supersymmetric theories, the main decay modes of scalar quarks are decays into quarks plus charginos or neutralinos, if the gluinos are heavy enough. We calculate the O($\alpha_s$) QCD corrections to these decay modes in the minimal…
The partial decay rate $\Gamma(Z\to b\bar{b})$ is significantly influenced by the mass of the top quark due to electroweak radiative corrections. The leading $\sim m_t^2$ and the next-to-leading contribution $\sim \ln m_t^2$ are known to be…
We calculate $O(\alpha_s)$ corrections to inclusive and isolated double prompt photon production, both for the unpolarized case, and for longitudinal polarization of the incoming hadrons. The calculation is performed using purely analytical…
