Transverse Lepton Polarization in Polarized W Decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v3

Abstract

Calculations of transverse polarization of leptons in the decay WlνW\rightarrow l\nu with polarized WW's are presented. Planned accelerators will produce enough WW's for observation of the Standard Model contributions to this polarization. One loop corrections to the polarization are given; these are too small to be seen at presently available WW sources. The exchange of Majorons will contribute to these polarizations; these may provide limits on the couplings of these particles to leptons.
