Abstract
The longitudinal polarization of the Λb baryon is measured at the LEP e+e− collider by DELPHI. It is determined from the charged lepton and neutrino energy spectra in 249±19 Λb semileptonic decays reconstructed in ≈3.5 million hadronic Z0 decays using Λ0-lepton correlations. The measured polarization is: PΛb=−0.49−0.30+0.32(stat.)±0.17(syst.)
