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.
