Polarization effects in e+e− annihilation processes
نویسنده
چکیده
We present analytic results for first order radiative QCD corrections to e+e− annihilation processes into quarks and gluons under the special aspect of polarized final state particles. This aspect involves single-spin polarization, gluon polarization, and the correlation between quark spins for massive final state quarks.

Qcd Physics Opportunities in Low-energy Electron-positron Annihilation∗
I survey a number of interesting tests of quantum chromodynamics at the amplitude level which can be carried out in electron-positron annihilation and in photon-photon collisions at low energy. Some of the tests require e+e− center of mass energy as small as √ s = 2 GeV. Other tests which involve a spectrum of energies can be carried out advantageously at high energy facilities using the radiat...

Longitudinal polarization of Lambda produced in e + e − annihilation at LEP energies is calculated in a picture for the spin content of Lambda which is consistent with the polarized deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering data and SU(3) flavor symmetry for hyperon decay so that the spin of Lambda is not completely carried by its s-valence quark. A comparison with the recent ALEPH data and the ...

We calculate total and differential cross sections for sfermion production in e+e− annihilation and in photon-photon collisions with arbitrary photon polarization. The total cross section at a polarized photon collider is shown to be larger than the e+e− annihilation cross section up to the kinematic limit of the photon collider.

متن کاملSpin Effects in Vector Meson Production at Lep
Spin observables may reveal much deeper properties of non perturbative hadronic physics than unpolarized quantities. We discuss the polarization of hadrons produced in e + e − annihilation at LEP. We show how final state q ¯ q interactions may give origin to non zero values of the off-diagonal element ρ 1,−1 of the helicity density matrix of vector mesons: some predictions are given for K * , φ...
