Measurement of top quark polarisation in t-channel single top quark production. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(4). doi:10.1007/JHEP04(2016)073 | Abstract: | A first measurement of the top quark spin asymmetry, sensitive to the top quark polarisation, in t-channel single top quark production is presented. It is based on a sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. A high-purity sample of t-channel single top quark events with an isolated muon is selected. Signal and background components are estimated using a fit to data. A differential cross section measurement, corrected for detector effects, of an angular observable sensitive to the top quark polarisation is performed. The differential distribution is used to extract a top quark spin asymmetry of 0.26 ± 0.03(stat) ± 0.10(syst), which is compatible with a p-value of 4.6% with the standard model prediction of 0.44. | URI: | http://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP04(2016)073 http://hdl.handle.net/11147/6200 |
