ee∈MC: Arbitrary Initial Spin States for the Production of e+e- τ+τ- (γ) Events and the Impact on Spin Correlations
Abstract
We present a modified spin algorithm, including spin correlations, which has been implemented in ee∈MC for the simulation of e+e- τ+τ- (γ) events with an arbitrary initial spin configuration. This algorithm is suitable for the proposed BELLE-II polarization upgrade to SuperKEKB, both for the ideal case and for the case where there are misalignments, radiative effects and allows for changing polarization conditions. The spin 1/2 states of the polarized beams are constructed in terms of a super-positioning of the helicity states corresponding to the polarimetric-vector describing the overall beam polarization and implemented both through a modification of the initial state in the modified Altrelli-Parsis Density Function as well as a change of basis of the helicity states.
