Spin correlations in top physics at ATLAS and CMS in Run 2

Measurements of $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ spin correlations are presented in events with top quarks produced in $\mathrm{pp}$ collisions at the LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of $36\:\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ at $\sqrt{s}=13\:\mathrm{TeV}$ collected at both the ATLAS and CMS detectors. The s...

description Measurements of $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ spin correlations are presented in events with top quarks produced in $\mathrm{pp}$ collisions at the LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of $36\:\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ at $\sqrt{s}=13\:\mathrm{TeV}$ collected at both the ATLAS and CMS detectors. The spin correlations are measured using the angular distributions of the leptons in dilepton channel $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ events. The spin correlations are probed both directly, using distributions measured in the top quark rest frames that depend only on the top quark spin, and indirectly, using distributions measured in the laboratory frame. The distributions are unfolded to the parton level and extrapolated to the full phase space. Some of the laboratory frame distributions are additionally unfolded to the particle level in the fiducial phase space of the ATLAS detector. The spin correlation measurements are used to search for new physics in the form of a light top squark or an anomalous top quark chromo-magnetic dipole moment, and stringent constraints are placed in both cases.
