- Yale Univ., New Haven, CT (United States). Dept. of Physics
We report on a measurement of data of the polarization in the decay B{sup 0} {yields} J/{psi}K*{sup 0} using data collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. B{sup 0} mesons were reconstructed through the decay chain B{sup 0} {yields} J/{psi}K*{sup 0}, J/{psi} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}}, K*{sup 0} {yields} K{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}}. The results, based on a sample of 60 {plus_minus} 11 events, is {Gamma}{sub L}/{Gamma} = 0.66 {plus_minus} 0.10 (stat) {sub {minus}0.10}{sup +0.08} (sys).
