Abstract
When a top quark is highly boosted, the boson from its decay has a substantial linear polarization that results in a azimuthal angular correlation among the top decay products. We show that this correlation can be measured for hadronically decayed boosted tops, and its magnitude provides a way to measure the longitudinal polarization of top quark, which is an important probe of new physics that couples to top sector.
