Measurement of spin correlations in tt‾ production using the matrix element method in the muon+jets final state in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV

ArticleAçık Erişim

Özet

The consistency of the spin correlation strength in top quark pair production with the standard model (SM) prediction is tested in the muon+jets final state. 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 Author
