Abstract:

The top quark is the most massive known particle, with a lifetime shorter than the hadronization time and the spin decorrelation time in top quark pair production.
This provides a unique opportunity to study the properties of top quarks in great detail. A detailed understanding of these properties serves as a crucial test of the Standard Model.
At the LHC, hundred millions of top quark pairs are produced. This presentation provides an overview and discussion of the extensive measurements of top quark properties at the CMS experiment. This includes measurements of the cross sections of single top and top quark pair production, top quark mass measurements, and recent developments such as the observation of quantum entanglement from spin correlation measurements.
