Book Description
We report measurements of the polarization of W bosons from top-quark decays using 2.7 fb−1 of p{bar p} collisions collected by the CDF II detector. Assuming a top-quark mass of 175 GeV/c2, three measurements are performed. A simultaneous measurement of the fraction of longitudinal (f0) and right-handed (f+) W bosons yields the model-independent results f0 = 0.88 ± 0.11(stat) ± 0.06(syst) and f+ = -0.15 ± 0.07(stat) ± 0.06(syst) with a correlation coefficient of -0.59. A measurement of f0 (f+) constraining f+ (f0) to its standard model value of 0.0 (0.7) yields f0 = 0.70 ± 0.07(stat) ± 0.04(syst) (f+ = 0.01 ± 0.02(stat) ± 0.05(syst)). All these results are consistent with standard model expectations.

Book Description
A measurement of the polarization of the W boson from top quark decay is an excellent test of the V-A form of the charged-current weak interaction in the standard model. Since the longitudinal W boson is intimately related to the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism, and the standard model gives a specific prediction for the fraction of longitudinal W bosons from top decays, it is of particular interest for study. This thesis presents a measurement of W boson polarization in top quark decay through an analysis of the cos [theta]* distribution in the lepton-plus-jets channel of t[bar t] candidate events from p[bar p] collisions at [radical]s = 1.96 TeV. This measurement uses an integrated luminosity of [approx]162 pb[sup -1] of data collected with the CDF Run II detector, resulting in 31 t[bar t] candidate events with at least one identified b jet. Using a binned likelihood fit to the cos [theta]* distribution from the t[bar t] candidate events found in this sample, the fraction of W bosons with longitudinal polarization is determined to be F[sub 0] = 0.99[sub -0.35][sup +0.29](stat.) [+-] 0.19(syst.), F[sub 0]> 0.33 [at] 95% CL. This result is consistent with the standard model prediction, given a top quark mass of 174.3 GeV/c[sup 2], of F[sub 0] = 0.701 [+-] 0.012.

We measure the?{sub b}° lifetime in the fully reconstructed decay?{sub b}° → J/??° using 10.4 fb−1 of p{bar p} collisions collected with the D0 detector at √s = 1.96 TeV. The lifetime of the topologically similar decay channel B° → J/? K{sub S}° is also measured. We obtain? (?{sub b}°) = 1.303 ± 0.075 (stat.) ± 0.035 (syst.) ps and? (B°) = 1.508 ± 0.025 (stat.) ± 0.043 (syst.) ps. Using these measurements, we determine the lifetime ratio of? (?{sub b}°)/? (B°) = 0.864 ± 0.052 (stat.) ± 0.033 (syst.).
