====== TTP02-02 Two-loop matrix elements for three jet production: the $n_f$ contribution. ====== We discuss the calculation of the $n_f$-contributions to the two-loop amplitude for $ e^+ e^- \rightarrow q g \bar{q}$. The calculation uses an efficient method based on nested sums. The result is presented in terms of multiple polylogarithms with simple arguments, which allow for analytic continuation in a straightforward manner. |**Sven-Olaf Moch, Stefan Weinzierl, Peter Uwer** | |** Acta Phys.Polon.
