Polarization asymmetries: e+e− → ZZ
Define I (θ, φ) = (1/σ)(dσ/dΩ), then we have
Alr =

φ=−π2I (θ, φ) sin(θ)dθdφ−

]=
3αpx4
=σ(sx .p < 0)− σ(sx .p > 0)
σ(sx .p < 0) + σ(sx .p > 0)
Here sx = (0, 1, 0, 0) in the rest frame of the decaying particle.
Similarly one can define asymmetries for other polarization parameters aswell.

Extending the observables
Beyond spin interpretation
Consider tri-lepton signal : µ+µ− e+ 6 E . We can define pll = p+ + p−and let’s choose pll = E (1, β sin θ, 0, β cos θ) and define:
sx = (0, − cos θ, 0, sin θ)
sy = (0, 0, 1, 0)
sz = (β, sin θ, 0, cos θ)/√p2ll
Various polarization asymmetries can be defined with respect tomomentum correlators like : sx .p+, sy .p+, sz .p+, (sx .p+)2 − (sy .p+)2,(sx .p+)(sy .p+) etc.
A distribution of these correlators can also be used as kinematicdiscriminator for enhancing signals (under progress).
