Abstract: (Elsevier)
Polarization in the exclusive decay B → J/ψK ∗ was measured using the ARGUS detector at the e + e − storage ring DORIS II. The ratio of the transverse to the total decay width was found to be Γ T / Γ = 0.03±0.16±0.15. This measurement demonstrates that the B 0 → J/ψK ∗0 decay channel can be effectively used for CP violation studies.
