Measurement of tt̅ spin correlation in pp̅ collisions using the CDF II detector at the Tevatron

The tt̅ spin correlation at production is a fundamental prediction of QCD and a potentially incisive test of new physics coupled to top quarks. We measure the tt̅ spin state in pp̅ collisions at √s=1.96  [square root of s=1.96] TeV using 1001 candidate events in the lepton plus jets decay channel re...
