When a top quark decays there is a large amount of angular correlation, in its rest frame, between its spin orientation and the direction of flight of the charged lepton from its decay. In this letter we investigate the prospects of measuring this angular correlation using the MC@NLO framework. The strength of the correlation is investigated for different spin bases. The robustness against...

We study electro-weak single-top quark production t-channel process at 10 TeV center-of-mass energy of the LHC. The analysis has been performed for anticipated 200 pb^-1 integrated luminosity using ATLAS Monte Carlo pseudo-data. We investigate cut based analysis optimization for t-channel into an electron final state. The main systematic uncertainty sources (jet energy scale, background...

At LHC single top quarks will be produced with more than 1 million events every year, a precise measurement of the cross section and comparing it with theoretical predictions will provide a crucial test of SM. For this reason the samples have to be purified from the background as much as possible and the remnant backgrounds such as W+jets and ttbar after cuts have to be measured. One of the...
