Abstract
This Letter reports on measurements of the longitudinal polarization f ractions in the decays B-d --> J/psi K(0) and B-s --> J/psi phi using data collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. B-d mesons are reconstructed through the decay chain B-d --> J/psi K(0), J/psi --> mu(+)mu(-), K(0) --> K(+)phi(-). A sample of 65 +/- 10 B-d events is used to obtain a longitudinal polarization fraction of T-L/Gamma = 0.6 5 +/- 0.10(stat) +/- 0.04(syst). B-s mesons are reconstructed through the decay chain B-s --> J/psi phi, J/psi --> mu(+)mu(-), phi --> K+K-. A sample of 19 +/- 5 B-s events is used to obtain the result Gamma(L) /Gamma = 0.56 +/- 0.21(stat)-(+0.02)(0.04)(syst).
