Candidate events are selected in the dilepton topology with large missing transverse energy and at least two jets. The difference in azimuthal angle between the two charged leptons in the laboratory frame is used to extract the correlation between the top and antitop quark spins. In the helicity basis the measured degree of correlation corresponds to A(helicity) = 0.40(-0.08)(+0.09), in agreement with the next-to-leading-order standard model prediction. The hypothesis of zero spin correlation is excluded at 5.1 standard deviations.", optnote="WOS:000304405000003", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1032), last updated on Thu, 14 Jun 2012 11:50:30 +0000", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.212001", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1203.4081", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.212001", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1203.4081", language="English" }
