Title: First measurement of the triple-product correlation in polarized Z{sup 0} decays to three jets

Conference ·
OSTI ID:278192

We present the first measurement of the triple-product correlation in polarized Z{sup o} decays to three jets using the SLD detector at SLAC and utilizing a longitudinally polarized electron beam. The CP-even and T-odd triple product {rvec S}{sub z} {center_dot} ({rvec k}{sub 1} x {rvec k}{sub 2}) formed from the two fastest jet momenta {rvec k}{sub 1} and {rvec k}{sub 2} and the Z{sup o} polarization vector {rvec S}{sub z} is sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. We measure the expectation value of this quantity to be consistent with zero and set an upper limit on correlations between the Z{sup 0}-spin and the three-jet plane orientation.
