NLO QCD corrections and triple gauge boson vertices at the NLC

We study NLO QCD corrections as relevant to hadronic W decay in W pair production at a future 500 GeV e+e− linac, with particular emphasis on the determination of triple gauge boson vertices. We find that hard gluon bremsstrahlung may mimic signatures of anomalous triple gauge boson vertices in certain distributions. The size of these effects can strongly depend on the polarisation of the initial e+e− beams.
