Abstract
We study the decays into six quarks
of off-shell pairs of
bosons produced in
electron-positron
annihilations, through the
order
in the strong coupling constant. We give explicit helicity amplitude
formulae. We present numerical results in the context of phenomenological
analyses of relevance at LEP2 and future
Linear Colliders: such as MW determinations,
New Physics
and Higgs searches.
