Description

We present results of a measurement of the ratio of events with correlated top quark spins to the total number of top quark events. The measurement is using 9.7 fb^-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. The fraction of events with top spin correlation is measured by employing a Matrix Element method providing increased sensitivity. Results are compared to the SM prediction.
