Measurement of W-boson polarization in top-quark decay using the full CDF Run II data set

We measure the polarization of W bosons from top-quark (t) decays into final states with a charged lepton and jets, tt̄→W+bW -b̄→ℓνbqq̄′b̄, using the full Run II data set collected by the CDF II detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb-1. A model-independent method simultaneousl...
