Measurement of W-Boson Helicity Fractions in Top-Quark Decays Using costheta*

Fully reconstructed top-antitop-events are used to determine the fractions of right-handed and longitudinally polarized W bosons produced in top-quark decays. The helicity fractions are sensitive to the couplings and the Dirac structure of the Wtb vertex. This paper reports measurements of the W-boson helicity fractions from two different methods using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.9 fb-1 of proton-antiproton collisions collected by the CDF II detector operating at the Fermilab Tevatron.
