Evidence for spin correlation in ttbar production

We present a measurement of the ratio of events with correlated t and tbar spins to the total number of ttbar events. This ratio f is evaluated using a matrix-element-based approach in events with a single lepton (electron or muon) and at least four jets. We analyze ppbar collisions data correspondi...

description We present a measurement of the ratio of events with correlated t and tbar spins to the total number of ttbar events. This ratio f is evaluated using a matrix-element-based approach in events with a single lepton (electron or muon) and at least four jets. We analyze ppbar collisions data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.3 fb^-1 collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider operating at a center of mass energy $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. Combining this result with a recent measurement of f in dilepton final states, we find f in agreement with the standard model. In addition, the combination provides evidence for the presence of spin correlation in ttbar events with a significance of more than three standard deviations.

This ratio f is evaluated using a matrix-element-based approach in events with a single lepton (electron or muon) and at least four jets. We analyze ppbar collisions data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.3 fb^-1 collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider operating at a center of mass energy $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. Combining this result with a recent measurement of f in dilepton final states, we find f in agreement with the standard model. In addition, the combination provides evidence for the presence of spin correlation in ttbar events with a significance of more than three standard deviations.</abstract><pub>American Physical Society</pub><doi>10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.032004</doi><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0585-7030</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2837-2442</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6115-5856</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0574-6018</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8575-405X</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3090-2948</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2837-2442</orcidid><oa>free_for_read</oa></addata></record>
