After 10 years of steadily increasing the experimental precision at LEP/SLC, there is a strong demand on an update of existing programs for fermion pair production. We present a rederivation of the O(alpha) Bremsstrahlung corrections to…
An investigation of the polar angle distribution of charged hadrons is presented using data taken by the JADE experiment at the PETRA e^+e^- collider at centre-of-mass energies of 35 and 44 GeV. From fits to the polar angle distribution the…
We propose a method for measuring the hadron charge asymmetry in $\ee$ collisions which is based upon the fragmentation function formalism, and is largely independent of modelling of fragmentation effects. Furthermore, in this method, QCD…
Corrections of $O(\alpha_s^2)$ to the decay of the top quark into a W boson and a bottom quark are calculated. The method is based on an expansion of the top quark propagator for small external momentum, q, as compared to the top quark…
It has been found that at a high luminosity $e^+ e^-$ collider, sizable $\eta_c+c\bar{c}X$ and $\eta_b+b\bar{b}X$ events can be produced when it works around the $Z$ peak. In this paper, we calculate the decay widths of $Z \to…
We study the differential cross section of the single inclusive $e^+e^-$ annihilation to the hadrons via $\gamma$-production, in the different ${k_{t}}$-factorization frameworks. In order to take into account the transverse momenta of the…
Experimental data from Belle Collaboration for the transverse polarization of $\Lambda$'s measured in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation processes are used to extract the polarizing fragmentation function (FF) within a TMD approach. We consider both…
