K. Abe et al., FIRST MEASUREMENT OF THE T-ODD CORRELATION BETWEEN THE Z(0) SPIN AND THE 3-JET PLANE ORIENTATION IN POLARIZED Z(0) DECAYS INTO 3 JETS, Physical review letters, 75(23), 1995, pp. 4173-4177
We present the first measurement of the correlation between the Z(0) s
pin and the event-plane orientation in polarized Z(0) decays into thre
e jets in the SLAC Linear Collider Large Detector experiment at SLAC u
tilizing a longitudinally polarized electron beam. The CP-even and T-o
dd triple product (S) over right arrow(Z) .((k) over right arrow(1) x
(k) over right arrow(2)), formed from the two fastest jet momenta (k)
over right arrow(1) and (k) over right arrow(2) and the Z(0) polarizat
ion vector (S) over right arrow(Z), is sensitive to physics beyond the
standard model. We measure the expectation value of this quantity to
be consistent with zero and set 95% C.L. limits of -0.022 < beta < 0.0
39 on the correlation.
