Measurement of the ttbar spin correlations, top quark polarization and related angular variables
ORAL
Abstract
The ongoing CMS analysis on the measurement of the full spin density production matrix, which includes multi-differential measurements of variables sensitive to the top quark spin correlation, polarization, and related angular observables, is presented. Events containing two leptons, two b-jets, and additional jets, as well as missing transverse momentum produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are considered. The data corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 137/fb collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Results are used to challenge Standard Model predictions and also to indirectly search for contributions of new physics.
