Title: CP violation tests for tau/top processes

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10111857

This paper reviews the following topics: tests for CP violation in top-quark production and decay processes. In particular, m{sub t} = 174 {plus_minus} 17 GeV implies good top-quark polarimetry because the W bosons in t-quark decays must be predominantly longitudinally polarized ({Gamma}{sub L}/{Gamma}{sub T} = 2.4). Tests for CP violation in tau lepton decays by the {tau} {yields} {rho}{nu} decay mode by usage of {rho} polarimetry signatures. Tests for complete measurement of the Z{sup 0},{gamma}* {yields} {tau}{sup {minus}}{tau}{sup +} vertex, including tests for CP violation in tau production processes.
