Measurements of top quark spin observables in tt¯ events using dilepton final states in √s=8 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector
Measurements of top quark spin observables in tt¯ events are presented based on 20.2 fb −1 of s=8 TeV proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The analysis is performed in the dilepton final state, characterised by the presence of two isolated leptons (electrons or muons...
