method to determine the tau neutrino helicity using polarized taus

A method is presented to extract the tau neutrino helicity, or equivalently, the chirality parameter γVA, independent of any tau polarization which may be present. The method is thus well-suited to measurements using taus produced from the Z<sup>0</sup> and is complementary to analyses u...
