Theory of Heavy Baryon Decay
We discuss various topics in the theory of heavy baryon decays. Among these
are recent applications of the Relativistic Three Quark Model to semileptonic,
nonleptonic, one-pion and one-photon transitions among heavy baryons, new
higher order perturbative results on the correlator of two heavy baryon
currents and on the semi-inclusive decay .Comment: 10 pages, invited talk given by J.G. K\"orner at the 3rd

Fully analytical O(\alpha_s) results for on-shell and off-shell polarized W-boson decays into massive quark pairs
We provide analytical results for the three polarized decay
structure functions and that describe the decay of a
polarized boson into massive quark--antiquark pairs. As an application we
consider the decay involving the helicity fractions of
the boson followed by the polarized decay \hbox{W^+(\uparrow)}\to
q_1\bar{q}_2 described by the polarized decay structure functions . We
thereby determine the polar angle decay distribution of the
cascade decay process . As a second example we
analyze quark mass and off-shell effects in the cascade decays and . For
the decays and we find substantial deviations from the mass-zero approximation in
particular in the vicinity of the threshold region.Comment: 56 pages, 15 figures and 2 table
