We measure the correlation between the spin of the top quark and the spin of the anti-top quark in [inline image][inline image] final states produced in [inline image][inline image] collisions at a center of mass energy [inline image][inline image], where l is an electron or muon. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb super(-1) and were collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The correlation is extracted from the angles of the two leptons in the t and [inline image][inline image] rest frames, yielding a correlation strength [inline image][inline image], in agreement with the NLO QCD prediction within two standard deviations, but also in agreement with the no correlation hypothesis.
