====== TTP98-10 Top quark production at threshold with O(alpha_s^2) accuracy ====== We calculate the next-to-next-to-leading order correction to the cross section for top quark pair production in e+e- annihilation in the threshold region, resumming all O [ ( alpha_s/beta )^n ( alpha_s^2, beta^2, alpha_s beta ) ] terms of perturbation series. We find that the magnitude of the NNLO correction is comparable to the size of the NLO corrections. |**Kirill Melnikov and Alexander Yelkhovsky** | |** Nucl. Phys.
