Helicity angles in $B\to J/\psi K^{*}$
Experiment: ARGUS (DORIS)
Inspire ID: 376001
Status: VALIDATED NOHEPDATA
Authors:
  • Peter Richardson
References:
  • Phys.Lett.B 340 (1994) 217-220
Beams: * *
Beam energies: ANY
Run details:
  • Any process producing B mesons, originally Upsilon(4S) decay

Measurement of the $K^*$ and $J/\psi$ helicity angles in the charmonium decay for $B\to J/\psi K^{*}$. The data were read from Figure 2 in the paper which are background subtracted and corrected for efficiency/acceptance.
