Abstract

We present the calculations of the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the total cross section, invariant mass distribution and the forward-backward asymmetry (AFB\rm A_{FB}) of top quark pair production mediated by WW' boson. Our results show that in the best fit point in the parameter space allowed by data at the Tevatron, the NLO corrections change the new physics contributions to the total cross section slightly, but increase the AFB\rm A_{FB} in the large invariant mass region by about 9%. Moreover, we evaluate the total cross section and charge asymmetry (AC\rm{A}_{\rm{C}}) of top pair production at the LHC, and find that both total cross section and ACA_{\rm C} can be used to distinguish NP from SM with the integrated luminosity increasing.
