Measurements of $t\bar{t}$ spin correlations in CMS
Abstract
We present an overview of the measurements of spin correlations in the CMS Collaboration. We present two analyses both in the dilepton channel using proton-proton collisions at TeV based on an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb. The spin correlations and polarization are measured using angular asymmetries. The results are consistent with unpolarized top quarks and Standard Model spin correlation. The second analysis sets a limit on the real part of the top-quark chromo-magnetic dipole moment of at confidence level through the measured azimuthal angle difference between the two charged leptons from production.
