Tau Polarization at ATLAS

Seminar Date: Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Time: 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Location: KAVLI 3rd Floor Conference Room
Abstract: Tau Polarization, which provides access to the degree of parity violation in decays to taus, can be a powerful discriminator in searches for physics beyond the standard model. It can also provide information about the the spin/CP of particles that decay to taus. I will present the results of the first measurement of tau polarization at a hadron collider and discuss the next steps in a physics program built on accessing tau polarization at ATLAS.
