Abstract

Off-shell and relativistic bound-state corrections for the decay t b+W are calculated to O(s2) making full use of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for weakly bound systems. Thus we are able to take into account all terms to that order in a systematic and straightforward manner. One of the previously not considered contributions cancels precisely gauge dependent terms which appeared in an earlier off-shell calculation. Important cancellations also determine the gauge-independent part.
