Tevatron anomalies and LHC cross-checks
High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
2011-12-30 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment
Abstract
A sizeable charge asymmetry in top quark pair production has been observed at the Tevatron. The experimental results seem to exceed systematically the Standard Model theory predictions by a significant amount and have triggered a large number of suggestions for 'new physics'. The effect is also visible at the LHC, and preliminary results have already been presented by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. In this talk, we review the present status of the theoretical predictions, and their comparison with the experimental measurements.
