One-loop electroweak corrections to e+e- into three-jets

Abstract

We describe the impact of the full one-loop Electro-Weak terms of O(${\alpha }_s{\alpha }_{EM}^3$) entering the electron-positron into three-jet cross-section. We include both factorisable and non-factorisable virtual corrections, photon bremsstrahlung but not the real emission of $W^{\pm }$ and $Z$ bosons. We show preliminary results and we discuss the impact of the Electro-Weak corrections on three-jet observables.
