Abstract
The forward-backward asymmetry measurement in top-pair production at the Tevatron is about from the Standard Model prediction. We propose an asymmetric left-right model, which includes a boson with a right-handed coupling of down to top quark, and a boson with diagonal couplings to the up, top, and down quarks with GeV and GeV. The model accounts for the asymmetry while remaining consistent with the top-pair total cross-section and invariant mass distribution.
