Angular correlations in top quark pair production and decay at hadron colliders.
We show how to observe sizable angular correlations between the decay products of the top quark and those of the anti-top quark in top quark pair production and decay at hadron colliders. These correlations result from the large asymmetry in the rate for producing like-spin versus unlike-spin top quark pairs provided the appropriate spin axes are used. The effects of new physics at production o...
متن کاملSpin properties of top quark pairs produced at hadron colliders
We discuss the spin properties of top quark pairs produced at hadron colliders at next-to-leading order in the coupling constant αs of the strong interaction. Specifically we present, for some decay channels, results for differential angular distributions that are sensitive to tt̄ spin correlations. PACS number(s): 12.38.Bx, 13.88.+e, 14.65.Ha

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to top quark spin correlations at hadron colliders: the reactions q ¯ q → t ¯ t(g) Abstract: Future hadron collider experiments are expected to record large to huge samples of t ¯ t events. The analysis of these data with respect to t ¯ t spin-spin correlations requires precise predictions of the production of these quark pairs in a general spin configurati...
متن کاملSpin-Spin Correlations of Top Quark Pairs at Hadron Colliders
Top quark pairs are produced with strongly correlated spins in the partonic reactions qq̄ → tt̄ and gg → tt̄. A complete description of these effects in terms of the spin density matrix of the tt̄ system in leading order QCD is given. We further discuss the prospects to observe the spin-spin correlations at pp̄ and pp colliders by measuring suitable angular correlations among the t and t̄ decay produ...
متن کاملMixed QCD and weak corrections to top quark pair production at hadron colliders
The order αs α mixed QCD and weak corrections to top quark pair production by quark antiquark annihilation are computed, keeping the full dependence on the t and t̄ spins. We determine the contributions to the cross section and to single and double top spin asymmetries at the parton level. These results are necessary ingredients for precise standard model predictions of top quark observables, in...
