Continuum Charged $D^{\ast }$ Spin Alignment at $sqrts$ = 10.5 GeV

Abstract

A measurement of the spin alignment of charged D^* mesons produced in continuum e^+ e^- \to c \bar{c} events at \sqrt{s}=10.5 GeV is presented. This study using 4.72 fb^{-1} of CLEO II data shows that there is little evidence of any D^* spin alignment.
