Abstract
The QCD corrections for the decay of heavy quarks, using spectral functions for the transition of the virtual W boson into real particle states, are calculated. QCD contributions to the effective Hamiltonian are taken into account in the leading-logarithm approximation as well as the one-gluon bremsstrahlung and vertex corrections.Keywords
