ALEPH_1996_I402895

Bottom baryon polarization at LEP1
Experiment: ALEPH (LEP)
Inspire ID: 402895
Status: UNVALIDATED

Beams: e- e+
Beam energies: ANY
Run details:
  • e+e- > hadrons

Measurement of the polarization of b-baryons, mainly $\Lambda_b$ at LEP1. The result is obtained by measuring the ratio of the charged lepton energy to the neutrino (missing energy).
