We discuss special type of polarization asymmetry (``handedness") in the process $e^+e^-\to 4\pi$, when one of initial particles is longitudinally polarized. The asymmetry is proportional to the degree of polarization and to the width to…

The $\tau$ lepton arising from the scalar tau ($\st$) decay is naturally polarized. $\ptau$ depends on the left--right mixing of the $\st$ and the gaugino--higgsino mixing of the neutralino. The polarization $\ptau$ could be measured from…

Using the helicity formalism of Jacob and Wick we derive spin density matrices of baryon antibaryon pairs produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. We consider the production of pairs with spins $1/2+\overline{1/2}$, $1/2+\overline{3/2}$ (+c.c.)…

In semi-leptonic $B$ decays with a tau lepton, features of the production process are imprinted on the tau helicity states. Since the tau momentum cannot be fully reconstructed experimentally, the available information on the tau properties…
