abstract = {A first measurement of the top quark spin asymmetry,
sensitive to the top quark polarisation, in t-channel single
top quark production is presented. It is based on a sample
of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7
inverse-femtobarns. A high-purity sample of t-channel single
top quark events with an isolated muon is selected. Signal
and background components are estimated using a fit to data.
A differential cross section measurement, corrected for
detector effects, of an angular observable sensitive to the
top quark polarisation is performed. The differential
distribution is used to extract a top quark spin asymmetry
of 0.26 +/- 0.03 (stat) +/- 0.10 (syst), which is compatible
with a p-value of $4.6\%$ with the standard model prediction
of 0.44.},
