A Note on QCD Corrections to the forward backward Asymmetry of b-Quarks using Thrust to determine the b-Direction

Abstract

I discuss one-loop QCD corrections to the forward backward asymmetry of the b-quark at LEP in a way appropriate to the present experimental procedure. I try to give insight into the structure of the corrections and elucidate some questions which have been raised by experimental experts. Furthermore, I complete and comment on results given in the literature.
