dc.descriptionThis is the publisher's version, also available electronically from http://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.72.011104.
dc.description.abstractWe present a measurement of the fraction f(+) of right-handed W bosons produced in top quark decays, based on a candidate sample of tt-bar events in the lepton+jets decay mode. These data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 230  pb(−1), collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp-bar Collider at s√=1.96  TeV. We use a constrained fit to reconstruct the kinematics of the tt-bar and decay products, which allows for the measurement of the leptonic decay angle θ∗ for each event. By comparing the cosθ∗ distribution from the data with those for the expected background and signal for various values of f(+), we find f(+(=0.00±0.13(stat)±0.07(syst). This measurement is consistent with the standard model prediction of f(+)=3.6×10(−4).
