Helicity of the W boson in lepton+jets tt¯ events
2005
We examine properties of candidate events in lepton + jets final states to establish the helicities of W bosons in t→W+b decays. Our analysis is based on a direct calculation of a probability density for each event to correspond to a final state, as a function of the helicity of the W boson. Using the 125 events/pb of data collected by the DO experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at , we obtain a longitudinal helicity fraction F0=0.56±0.31, consistent with the prediction of F0=0.70 from the standard model.
