The forward-backward asymmetry at NNLO revisited
arXiv:hep-ph/0609021 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2006.11.076
Abstract
I reconsider the forward-backward asymmetry for flavoured quarks in electron-positron annihilation. I suggest an infrared-safe definition of this observable, such that the asymmetry may be computed in perturbative QCD with massless quarks. With this definition, the first and second order QCD corrections are computed.
