Abstract
We compute the full one-loop EW contributions of \({\mathcal{O}}(\alpha_{\mathrm{S}}\alpha_{\mathrm{EM}}^{3})\) entering the electron–positron into two b-quarks and one gluon cross section at the Z peak and LC energies. We include both factorisable and non-factorisable virtual corrections, photon bremsstrahlung but not the real emission of W± and Z bosons. Their importance for the measurement of αS from jet rates and shape variables is explained qualitatively and illustrated quantitatively. Their impact on the forward–backward asymmetry is also analysed.
