Next-to-Leading Order QCD corrections to Three-Jet Rates with Massive Quarks

Abstract

The reaction $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation into three jets was recently computed for massive quarks at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. We discuss some results of our calculation for b jets produced at the Z resonance.
