We study the effects of gluon radiation in top-pair production and their decays for e
+
e
− annihilation at the ILC. To achieve this we apply the POWHEG method and interface our results to the Monte Carlo event generator
. We consider a centre-of-mass energy of
GeV and compare decay correlations and bottom-quark and -antiquark distributions before hadronisation.
