The D polarization fraction FD L is measured in two q2 regions, below and above 7 GeV2=c4, where q2 is defined as the squared invariant mass of the τντ system. The FD L values are measured to be 0.52 0.07 0.04 and 0.34 0.08 0.02 for the lower and higher q2 regions, respectively. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The average value over the whole q2 range is FD L ¼ 0.41 0.06 0.03. These results are compatible with the Standard Model predictions.18 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2024HadronsPolarització (Física nuclear)QuarksHadronsPolarization (Nuclear physics)Quarksinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7564442025-07-04info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
