Measurements of Spin Correlation in $$t\bar{t}$$ Events at D0
Conference

OSTI ID:1027240
Two recent measurements by the D0 Collaboration of spin correlation in t{bar t} production using 5.4 fb{sup -1} of Tevatron p{bar p} collider data are presented. Both rely on the dilepton final state of t{bar t}. One measurement relies on full reconstruction of the top quark kinematics, and the other makes use of leading-order matrix elements to characterize the kinematics. The latter measurement is the first ever to have sufficient analyzing power to exclude the no-correlation hypothesis.
