Measurement of the $W$ boson helicity in top quark decay at D0

ORAL

Abstract

We report on a measurement of the fraction of right-handed $W$ bosons in top quark decay. In the standard model, this fraction is too small to measure with the current data sample, so a non-zero value would be a clear sign of new physics. The measurement is based upon the angle between the charged lepton and top quark directions in the $W$ boson rest frame.
