Asymmetries in heavy fermion production and decay

  • 1. Max-Planck-Institut fuer Physik und Astrophysik, Muenchen (Germany, F.R.). Werner-Heisenberg-Inst. fuer Physik

Description

We calculate the forward-backward asymmetries of heavy fermions and of leptons from their semileptonic decay in e+e- annihilation. In particular we study the corrections to the lowest-order prediction resulting from initial-state radiation, kinematic effects in heavy quark decay and the role of quark polarization. (orig.)
