Spin, Hadronization and lifetimes

This event is part of the HET Seminar Series.

Abstract:
Measurements of lifetimes can be done in two ways. For very short
lived particles, the width can be measured. For long lived ones, the
lifetime can be directly measure, for example, using a displaced
vertex. Practically, the lifetime cannot be extracted for particles
with intermediate lifetimes. We show that for such cases information
about the lifetime can be extracted for heavy colored particles.
