Additional information
Together with Yvonne Peters (postdoc) and Tim Head (PhD student) I pioneered as primary author the measurement of ttbar spin correlations for the D0 experiment. To increase the sensitivity of the measurement we established a measurement using matrix elements which is known from top quark mass measurement and was transferred to measurement of spin correlations for the first time. We combined the measurement of the dilepton channel with the measurement of lepton+jets final states and were able to claim first evidence for spin correlations at hadron colliders.
