Abreu, P. et al. (2000) Lambda_b polarization in Z⁰ decays at LEP. Physics Letters B, 474(1-2), 205 -222. (doi: 10.1016/S0370-2693(99)01431-8)

Abstract

The longitudinal polarization of the Lambda(b) baryon is measured at the LEP e(+)e(-) collider by DELPHI. It is determined from the charged lepton and neutrino energy spectra in 249 +/- 19 Lambda(b) semileptonic decays reconstructed in approximate to 3.5 million hadronic Z(0) decays using Lambda(0)-lepton correlations. The measured polarization is: P- Lambda b = -0.49(-0.30)(+0.32)(stat.) +/- 0.17(syst.).
