Polarization of Λ0 baryons at LEP 1

Experiment: ALEPH (LEP)

Inspire ID: 415745

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Lett. B374 (1996) 319-330, 1996

Beams: e- e+

Beam energies: (45.6, 45.6)GeV

Run details: - e+e- -> hadrons at 91.2 GeV

Measurement of the polarization of Λ0 baryons at LEP 1. The cos θ and cos ϕ distributions are extracted and then the polarization obtained by fitting the resulting distributions.
