Optimized Variables of the Study of $\Lambda_b$ Polarization

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-15 v1

Abstract

The value of the bb-baryon polarization can be extracted from inclusive data at LEP with better than 10\% precision based on current statistics. We present a new variable by which to measure the polarization, which is the ratio of the average electron energy to the average neutrino energy. This variable is both sensitive to polarization and insensitive to fragmentation uncertainties.
