The polarization of a top quark can be sensitive to new physics beyond the standard model. Since the charged lepton from top quark decay is maximally correlated with the top quark spin, it is common to measure the polarization from the…
The processes $p p \rightarrow V_1 V_2 + X \rightarrow \ell_1 \bar \ell_1 \ell_2 \bar \ell_2 + X$, where $V_i = W^{\pm}$ or $Z$ and $\ell_i$ denotes a lepton, are calculated to ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$. Total and differential cross sections,…

The reaction $ e^+e^- \to W^+W^-$ produces a $W$-boson pair with a non-trivial spin correlation at threshold. This correlation leads to a characteristic angular correlation between the leptons produced in $W^{\pm} \to \ell ^{\pm} \nu$…

A study of W-pair production in e+e- annihilations at Lep2 is presented, based on 877 W+W- candidates corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 57 pb-1 at sqrt(s) = 183 GeV. Assuming that the angular distributions of the W-pair…
We analyze, in a fully model-independent manner, the effects of new physics on a few semi-hadronic three-body meson decays of the type $P_i \to P_f f_1 f_2$, where $P_i$, $P_f$ are well chosen pseudo-scalar mesons and $f_{1,2}$ denote…
