Test of spin dependence in charm-quark fragmentation toD*

Abstract
We have measured the polarization of D*, the energy dependence of the polarization, and the spin-density matrix of D* in e+e annihilation at a center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV using the Time Projection Chamber detector at the SLAC storage ring PEP. In 147 pb1 of data we see no strong evidence for polarization, alignment, or final-state interactions in this fragmentation process.
