Abstract

We consider the annihilation process of an electron-positron pair into a pair of heavier fermions when the initial electron and positron beams are polarized. By calculating the polarization of the final-state particles, we discuss in detail the effect due to the produced particle masses in the τ-charm energy region at BEPC/BES, and also compare the effect with that at the B-factory. Such a study is useful for the design of possible polarization investigation at the BEPC/BES facility and the B-factory.
