Abstract: (Elsevier)
The measurement of the correlation between the transverse spin components of τ + τ − pairs collected during 1992 to 1994 with the DELPHI detector at LEPI is presented. A value C π = 0.87 ± 0.20 (stat.) −0.12 +0.10 (syst.) was obtained for the correlation parameter, in agreement with the Standard Model expectation.
