- This paper describes an analysis of the angular distribution of W→eν and W→μν decays, using data from pp collisions at s√=7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 35 pb\(^{−1}\). Using the decay lepton transverse momentum and the missing transverse momentum, the W decay angular distribution projected onto the transverse plane is obtained and analysed in terms of helicity fractions f\(_0\), f\(_L\) and f\(_R\) over two ranges of W transverse momentum (p\(^W_T\)):35<p\(^W_T\)<50This paper describes an analysis of the angular distribution of W→eν and W→μν decays, using data from pp collisions at s√=7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 35 pb\(^{−1}\). Using the decay lepton transverse momentum and the missing transverse momentum, the W decay angular distribution projected onto the transverse plane is obtained and analysed in terms of helicity fractions f\(_0\), f\(_L\) and f\(_R\) over two ranges of W transverse momentum (p\(^W_T\)):35<p\(^W_T\)<50 GeV and p\(^W_T\)>50 GeV. Good agreement is found with theoretical predictions. For p\(^W_T\)>50 GeV, the values of f\(_0\) and f\(_L\)−f\(_R\), averaged over charge and lepton flavour, are measured to be: f\(_0\)=0.127±0.030±0.108 and f\(_L\)−f\(_R\)=0.252±0.017±0.030, where the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second include all systematic effects.…
