O(alpha_s) spin effects in e+ e- -> q qbar (g)
arXiv:0910.5320
Abstract
We discuss O(alpha_s) spin effects in e+ e- -> q qbar (g) for the polarization of single quarks and for spin-spin correlations of the final state quarks. Particular attention is paid to residual mass effects in the limit m_q -> 0 which are described in terms of universal helicity flip and helicity non-flip contributions.
