Tau Neutrino Helicity from h± Energy Correlations

الأصل · EN

We report a measurement of the magnitude of the tau neutrino helicity from tau-pair events taken with the CLEO detector at the CESR electron-positron storage ring. Events in which each tau undergoes the decay tau -> h nu, with h a charged pion or kaon, are analyzed for energy correlations between the daughter hadrons, yielding |xi| = 2*|hₙu| = 1.03 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.04, with the first error statistical and the second systematic.
