At future electron-positron colliders, one of the largest irreducible backgrounds to top searches in the channel `4 jets + lepton + missing energy' comes from QCD events of order $\alpha_s^2$. We compute here such processes exactly at the…
Six--jet events via WW pairs, $e^+e^- \ar W^+W^- \ar q_1 \overline{q_1} q_2 \overline{q_2} g g$ are studied at tree level using helicity amplitudes. This is the dominant production mechanism for six--jet final states at Lep II energy. ISR…

We provide a detailed analysis of event-shape observables, namely the energy correlation function and jet angularity, for heavy-flavor jets produced in electron-positron collisions, focusing on quantum chromodynamics (QCD) interactions.…
The production of four hadronic jets in e+e- collisions above the Z pole is dominated by the QCD e+e- --> qqqq,qqgg processes and, for sufficiently high energy, the electroweak e+e- --> W+W- --> qqqq process. However there is another…

We study QCD correction to the pair production of colored scalar particles in electron-positron annihilation with an emphasis on gluon emission in the final state. We discuss the usefulness of working in a ``quasi-two-body'' frame and…
We demonstrate that in the back-to-back kinematics the production of four jets in the collision of two partons is suppressed in the leading log approximation of pQCD, compared to the hard processes involving the collision of four partons.…
