Abstract
The longitudinal polarization of the Λ(b) baryon is measured at the LEP e+e- collider by DELPHI. It is determined from the charged lepton and neutrino energy spectra in 249 ± 19 Λ(b) semileptonic decays reconstructed in ≃ 3.5 million hadronic Z0 decays using Λ0-lepton correlations. The measured polarization is: P(Λ(b)) = -0.49-0.30/+0.32(stat.) ± 0.17(syst.) (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
