The events are selected from pp collisions, collected by the CMS detector, at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. The data are compared with the expectation for the spin correlation predicted by the SM and with the expectation of no correlation. Using a template fit method, the fraction of events that show SM spin correlations is measured to be 0.72±0.08(stat)−0.13 +0.15(syst), representing the most precise measurement of this quantity in the muon+jets final state to date. © 2016 The AuthorElsevier B.V.2016Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/14919https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2016.05.0050370-2693enPhysics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/14919
