Two approaches to test this at CDF: Using a neural network based on event kinematics Using multiplicity of low PT tracks Both approaches statistics limited

3. Top Decays - W Helicity at D0
Fit for f- and f+ gives:F0 = 0.42 0.17(stat) 0.10(sys)
F+= 0.12 0.09(stat) 0.05(sys)
The V-A nature of the weak current t Wb requires the following helicity fractions: F0 = 0.7, F = 0.3, F+ = 0.0 (longitudinal, left-handed, right-handed
One can simultaneously fit for F0 and F+

Parameterize the reconstructed top mass distribution as function of width. Perform pseudoexperiments to check sensitivity.
