TTP99-50 Top production above threshold: Electroweak and QCD corrections combined

Top quark production in electron-positron annihilation is one of the benchmark reactions at a future linear collider. Both electroweak and QCD corrections are large, amounting to 10% or even more in specific kinematic regions. In this note we present a method which allows to combine the dominant terms from both sources, thus improving considerably the result based on a simple addition of both corrections.
