Polarization of b-baryons at LEP1
Experiment: OPAL (LEP)
Inspire ID: 474012
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Peter Richardson

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 neutrino (missing energy) to the charged lepton energy, rather than the more sophisticated fit used in the paper.
