An analysis of a triple-differential decay rate in $t$-channel production is used to simultaneously determine five generalised helicity fractions and phases, as well as the polarisation of the produced top quark. The complex parameters are then constrained. This analysis is based on 20.2 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The fraction of decays containing transversely polarised $W$ bosons is measured to be $f_1=0.30 \pm 0.05$. The phase between amplitudes for transversely and longitudinally polarised $W$ bosons recoiling against left-handed $b$-quarks, is measured to be $\delta_- = 0.002\pi^{+0.016\pi}_{-0.017\pi}$, giving no indication of CP violation. The fraction of longitudinal or transverse $W$ bosons accompanied by right-handed $b$-quarks are also constrained. Based on these measurements, limits are placed at 95% C.L. on the ratio of the complex coupling parameters Re$[g_\mathrm{R}/V_\mathrm{L}] \in [-0.12,0.17]$ and Im$[g_\mathrm{R}/V_\mathrm{L}] \in [-0.07,0.06]$. Constraints are also placed on the ratios $|V_\mathrm{R}/V_\mathrm{L}|$ and $|g_\mathrm{L}/V_\mathrm{L}|$. In addition, the polarisation of single top quarks in the $t$-channel is constrained to be $P > 0.72$ (95% C.L.). None of the above measurements make assumptions on the value of any of the other parameters or couplings and all of them are in agreement with the Standard Model. 000396237 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611$$a611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF3-611)$$cPOF3-611$$fPOF III$$x0 000396237 588__ $$aDataset connected to arXivarXiv 000396237 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-ATLAS-20150101$$1EXP:(DE-588)4398783-7$$5EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-ATLAS-20150101$$aLHC$$eLHC: ATLAS$$x0 000396237 773__ $$p40 000396237 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/396237/files/arXiv_1707.05393.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000396237 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/396237/files/arXiv_1707.05393.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000396237 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/396237/files/arXiv_1707.05393.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000396237 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/396237/files/arXiv_1707.05393.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000396237 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/396237/files/arXiv_1707.05393.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000396237 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/396237/files/arXiv_1707.05393.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000396237 909CO $$ooai:bib-pubdb1.desy.de:396237$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000396237 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2008985-5$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDeutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron$$b0$$kDESY 000396237 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-610$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lMaterie und Universum$$vFundamental Particles and Forces$$x0 000396237 9141_ $$y2017 000396237 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000396237 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000396237 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0580$$2StatID$$aPublished 000396237 9201_ $$0I:(DE-H253)ATLAS-20120731$$kATLAS$$lLHC/ATLAS Experiment$$x0 000396237 980__ $$apreprint 000396237 980__ $$aVDB 000396237 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000396237 980__ $$areport 000396237 980__ $$aI:(DE-H253)ATLAS-20120731 000396237 9801_ $$aFullTexts
