QCD radiative corrections to $Î³^Î³^ \to$ hadrons at LEP2

arXiv:hep-ph/0112041

Abstract

In this talk we describe the order-$\as$ corrections to the total cross section and to jet rates in $Î³^* Î³^* \to$ hadrons for the process $\epem\to\epem +$ hadrons. We use a next-to-leading order general-purpose partonic Monte Carlo event generator that allows the computation of a rate differential in the produced leptons and hadrons. We compare our results with the experimental data for $\epem\to\epem +$ hadrons at LEP2.
