Heavy Quarks and Leptons at $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ Colliders

Abstract

The production of massive quarks and leptons in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collisions is studied using exact helicity amplitudes. Total cross sections as a function of $y_{\mathrm{cut}}$, in both the JADE and the $k_T$ algorithms, are presented and compared with massless results. Some invariant mass distributions are examined in relation to Higgs detection. Compact expressions for the helicity amplitudes are given.
