Particle Polarization in High Energy Physics : An Introduction and Case Studies on Vector Particle Production at the LHC /

This open-access book addresses the following questions: how does the polarization of a particle, id est, the angular momentum state in which it is produced, manifest itself in nature? What are the concepts and tools needed to perform rigorous measurements providing complete and unambiguous physical...
