The total cross section for the production of massive quarks in electron positron annihilation can be predicted in perturbative QCD. After expansion in m^2/s the quartic terms, i.e. those proportional to m^4/s^2, are calculated up to order…
An evaluation of the effective QED coupling at the scale M_Z is presented. It employs the predictions of perturbative QCD for the cross section of electron positron annihilation into hadrons up to order \alpha_s^2, including the full quark…
The analytic expressions for the production cross sections of polarized bottom and top quarks in $e^+e^-$ annihilation are explicitly derived at the one-loop order of strong interactions. Chirality-violating mass effects will reduce the…
The three-loop vacuum polarization function $\Pi(q^2)$ induced by a massive quark is calculated. A comprehensive description of the method is presented. From the imaginary part the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ result for the production of heavy…
In this article we evaluate mass corrections up to $O((m^2/q^2)^6)$ to the three-loop polarization function induced by an axial-vector current. Special emphasis is put on the evaluation of the singlet diagram which is absent in the vector…
In this paper we investigate supersymmetric effects to the threshold production cross section of top quark pairs in electron positron annihilation. In particular, we consider the complete one-loop corrections from the strong and weak sector…
We present the third-order QCD prediction for the production of top-anti-top quark pairs in electron-positron collisions close to the threshold in the dominant S-wave state. We observe a significant reduction of the theoretical uncertainty…
Theoretical results are presented for top quarks produced in annihilation of polarized electrons on positrons. Polarization studies for $t\bar t$ pairs near threshold are free from hadronization ambiguities. This is due to the short…
We calculate the next-to-next-to-leading order correction to the cross section for top quark pair production in e+e- annihilation in the threshold region, resumming all O [ (alpha_s/beta)^n (alpha_s^2, beta^2, alpha_s beta) ] terms of…
Recent results on production and decays of polarized top quarks are reviewed. Top quark pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is considered near energy threshold. For longitudinally polarized electrons the produced top quarks and…
Complete analytical results for the production of heavy-quark pairs by polarized and unpolarized photons in next-to-leading order are presented. Two-, three- and two plus three-jet cross sections for total photon spin $J_z=0,\pm 2$ are…
The massive one-loop {\it QCD} corrections to the production cross sections of We present the massive one-loop {\it QCD} corrections to the production cross sections of polarized quarks in the annihilation process $e^+e^-\to q\bar{q}(g)$…
We compute production rates for two, three, four and five jets in electron-positron annihilation at the third order in the QCD coupling constant. At this order, three-jet production is described to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in…
The talk is on a computational set-up for calculating the production of a massive quark-antiquark pair in electron positron collisions to order $\alpha_s^2$ in the coupling of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at the differential level using the…
The vacuum polarization due to a virtual heavy quark pair and specifically the coefficients of its Taylor expansion in the external momentum are closely related to moments of the cross section for quark-antiquark pair production in…
The cross-section for the production of $t\bar{t}$ pairs in $e^+e^-$-annihilation via a virtual photon is determined up to order $\alpha_s^2$. For the cm-energies of interest the effect of the top mass may not be considered as a small…
Polarization studies for heavy quarks can lead to important tests of the Standard Model. Top quark pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is considered near energy threshold. It is shown that for longitudinally polarized electrons the…
The real and imaginary part of the vacuum polarisation function $\Pi(q^2)$ induced by a massive quark is calculated in perturbative QCD up to order $\alpha_s^2$. The method is described and the results are presented. This extends the…
We calculate the next-to-next-to-leading order ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^4)$ one-loop squared corrections to the production of heavy quark pairs in quark-antiquark annihilations. These are part of the next-to-next-to-leading order ${\cal…
The total cross section for electron-positron annihilation into hadrons is calculated in the region just below the B meson threshold. QCD corrections up to third order, quark mass effects, initial state radiation, the running of alpha_QED…
