We present a measurement of the relative fraction of ttbar production through gluon fusion Fgg
using an azimuthal correlation of charged leptons in the ttbar dilepton Channel.
We use a total integrated luminosity of 2 fb-1 data, and find the fraction of gluon fusion

Analysis Detail :
According to standard model, ttbar production is 85% of qqbar annihilation and 15% of gluon fusion. To validate this PQCD calculation
and serch for new physics, we measured this gluon fusion flaction.

qqbar annihilation and gluon fusion have different spin configuration, and this difference can be measure as dangler correlation between
leptons in Azimuthal plane. Finally we fited the data(2fb-1) by this different gluon fusion and qqbar annihilation's Delta Phi leptons distribution.

We used exact same events selection and background as pre-tag ttbar dilepton channel cross section measurement.
