Title
Resummed jet rates for heavy quark production in e+e- annihilation
Abstract
Expressions for Sudakov form factors for heavy quarks are presented. They are used to construct resummed jet rates for up to four jets in e+e- annihilation. The coefficients of leading and next-to-leading logarithmic corrections, mandatory for a combination with higher order matrix elements, are evaluated up to second order in $\alpha_s$. Predictions are given for production of bottom quarks at LEP energies and top quarks at the Linear Collider.
