%0 Journal Article %T Top quark production near threshold: NNLO QCD correction %A Oleg Yakovlev %J Physics %D 1998 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0370-2693(99)00507-9 %X We calculate the cross section of the process e^+e^- \to t\bar t near threshold by resumming Coulomb-like terms with next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) accuracy. The nonrelativistic Green function formalism and the method of ``direct matching'' are used. The NNLO correction turns out to be large, of the same size as the NLO correction. It changes the position and the normalization of the 1S-peak. The obtained results are compared with results existing in the literature. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9808463v4
