Experimental status of top charge asymmetry measurements

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2013-12-03 v1

Abstract

The latest measurements of the asymmetry in the angular distributions of the ttˉt\bar{t} events are reviewed. The measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry AFBA_{FB} in the ppˉp\bar{p} 1.98 TeV collision at the Tevatron show some tension with the standard model calculation, while results of the measurements of the charge asymmetry ACA_C in pppp collisions at 7 TeV and 8 TeV at the LHC are compatible with standard model prediction.
