Our work extends existing results + which are only available for semileptonic top quark + decays at the parton level. + For $t(\uparrow)\to b$-jet $+2$ light jets + we compute in particular the QCD-corrected top-spin + analysing power of the $b$-quark jet and the least energetic + light jet. The dependence of the results on the choice + of the jet recombination scheme is found to be small. + In addition we compute the spin analysing + power of the thrust axis. Our results constitute a so far + missing ingredient to analyse top quark production and + subsequent non-leptonic decay at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$, keeping + the full information on the top quark polarization. + + |**A.
