@misc{10481/30475, year = {2013}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/30475}, abstract = {We introduce a new asymmetry in the decay t -> W b -> l nu b, which is shown to be directly proportional to the polarisation of the top quark along a chosen axis, times a sum of W helicity fractions. The latter have already been precisely measured at the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider. Therefore, this new asymmetry can be used to obtain a model-independent measurement of the polarisation of top quarks produced in any process at hadron or lepton colliders.}, organization = {This work has been supported by MICINN by projects FPA2006-05294 and FPA2010-17915, Junta de Andalucía (FQM 101, FQM 03048 and FQM 6552) and Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) project CERN/FP/123619/2011.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Top quark}, keywords = {Polarisation}, title = {Model-independent measurement of the top quark polarisation}, author = {Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio and Herrero-Hahn, Raquel}, }
