Description
It is pointed out that in e+e- annihilation the physical situation is especially favourable for the observation of the strong spin correlation between the D* and anti D* in opposing c- and anti c-jets, predicted by QCD. Some assessment is given of the possibility of observing this in PEP and PETRA data, and with LEP. The possibilities for similar observations for (B*, anti B*) and (T*, anti T*) are briefly discussed. (orig.)
