Description
Precision measurements of the top quark properties are of paramount importance for our understanding of the SM. We present several measurements of asymmetries in top quark production and of its spin correlations. These measurements allow us to test the fundamentals of quantum mechanics at the highest energies achieved so far and also serve as an excellent probe for physics beyond the Standard Model. In addition, we study these correlations in top quarks pairs produced at their kinematic threshold, a region which is predicted to receive enhancements from non-relativistic QCD effects that are so far unexplored.
