A study of the use of fractals in top non-leptonic decays for the sake of discrimination against background is presented. Preliminary results show that fractals may provide a useful check for top event enrichment techniques.
A simpler neural-network approach is presented for the analysis of the top quark non-leptonic decay channel in events of the D0 Collaboration. Results for the top quark signal are comparable to those found by the D0 Collaboration by a more elaborate handling of the event information used as input to the neural network.
This report is a survey on QCD Event Generator issues of relevance for LEP 2. It contains four main sections: a summary of experience from LEP 1, extrapolations to LEP 2 energies, Monte Carlo descriptions and standardization issues.
