Description
If new TeV scale particles are discovered, it will be important to
determine their lifetimes. There is, however, a 12 order of magnitude
range, where we cannot measure particle lifetimes. For a heavy quark with a
long lifetime, hadronization depolarizes the particle and thus, in
principle, the amount of depolarization can be used to probe the lifetime
in the problematic region. In this talk I will apply this idea to a
realistic scenario of a single top-like particle, produced at the Large
Hadron Collider.
