Gluon fusion is the primary source of top-antitop pair production at the LHC. The spin dependences of proton gluon distributions impact the spin correlations of the top pairs. Decays of top pairs through different channels produce a variety of correlations among the decay products - single particles and jets. Combinations of the gluon distributions, either polarized or unpolarized, can be...
