The next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to top quark threshold pair production in gamma-gamma collisions are computed. The NNLO effects turn out to be significant. Threshold cross sections in gamma-gamma and e+e- collisions…
At very high energies, pair production ($\gamma\to e^+e^-$) exhibits many interesting features. The momentum transfer from the target is very small, so the reaction probes the macroscopic properties of the target, rather than individual…
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…
