摘要
We investigate the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) corrections to hadronic final states in electron-positron collisions at O(alpha(3)(s)) in the strong coupling constant alpha s. Namely, we analytically compute the total cross section for this process by separately integrating the tree-level five-parton, the one-loop four-parton, the two-loop three-parton, and the three-loop two-parton matrix elements over the respective phase space. All the contributions to the calculation are treated in a common framework whereby phase space integrals are expressed as physical cuts of the four-loop two-point function. We check the cancellation of infrared poles at all colour levels and we reproduce the known result for the R-ratio at order alpha(3)(s).
