Description

Final state q q-bar interactions give origin to non zero values of the off-diagonal element ρ1,-1 of the helicity density matrix of vector mesons produced in e+ e- annihilations, as confirmed by recent OPAL data on φ, D* and K*'s. New predictions are given for ρ1,-1 of several mesons produced at large xE and small pT - i.e. collinear with the parent jet - in the annihilation of polarized 3+ and 3-, the results depend strongly on the elementary dynamics and allow further non trivial tests of the standard model.
