While the anomalous magnetic moments of the electron and the muon have been measured with remarkable precision, the magnetic moment of the $\tau$-lepton is only known to rather limited precision. A promising approach to measure it exploits…

Calculations of transverse polarization of leptons in the decay $W\rightarrow l\nu$ with polarized $W$'s are presented. Planned accelerators will produce enough $W$'s for observation of the Standard Model contributions to this polarization.…
We study the polarization of positively charged $W$'s in the scattering of massive electroweak bosons at hadron colliders. We rely on the separation of weak boson polarizations in the gauge-invariant, doubly-resonant part of the amplitude…
Measurement of the tau lepton polarization in \eett\ is an important electro-weak measurement at ILC and other future electron-positron colliders. In this paper we discuss several methods to extract polarimeter information for \eett\ events…
The $Z$ boson in the process $pp \to ZH$ and the $W^+_{}$ and $W^-_{}$ in the process $pp \to W^{\pm}_{}H$ can be in polarised states. The polarisation density matrix of the $Z$ ($W$) boson contains the complete information about a state of…
The $\tau^\pm$, highly polarized in the direction of the incident beam, can be obtained from the $e^\pm$ collider with the polarized incident $e^-$ (and preferably also the $e^+$) beam. This polarization vector $\longvec…
This paper presents a measurement of the polarisation of $W$ bosons from $t\bar{t}$ decays, reconstructed in events with one high-$p_{\mbox{T}}$ lepton and at least four jets. Data from $pp$ collisions at the LHC were collected at…
We study Higgs boson production associated with single top or anti-top via $t$-channel weak boson exchange at the LHC. The process is an ideal probe of the top quark Yukawa coupling, because we can measure the relative phase of $htt$ and…
The correlation between the two $\tau$-polarisations is predicted to be opposite $(+-/-+)$ for the $H/A \to \tau^+\tau^-$ signal, while it corresponds to the same sign combinations for the Drell-Yan $(++/--)$ and $t \bar t$ $(--)$…
