Measurements of tt¯ spin correlations and top quark polarization using dilepton final states in pp collisions at s√=8  TeV

Measurements of the top quark-antiquark (t¯t) spin correlations and the top quark polarization are presented for t¯t pairs produced in pp collisions at √s=8  TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.5  fb⁻¹ collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurements are performed...
