Recent calculations are presented of top quark polarization in $t\bar t$ pair production close to threshold. S-P-wave interference gives contributions to all components of the top quark polarization vector. Rescattering of the decay…
The top quark pairs produced at a polarized muon collider are in a (nearly) pure spin configuration. This result holds for all center-of-mass energies, and is insensitive to the next-to-leading order QCD radiative corrections. The decay…
In this article, we study the final-state rescattering effects in the decays $B^0\to \chi_{c0}K^{*0}$ and $B^+ \to \chi_{c0}K^{*+}$, and observe the corrections are zero in the SU(3) limit, which is warranted by the heavy quark symmetry. It…
