We study different top quark charge asymmetries and the variation of $t\bar t$ total cross section induced by the effective axial-vector coupling of gluon in the LHC experiments. We show that rapidity cut-dependent asymmetries are more…
A strategy to compute inclusive hadronic processes in lattice QCD is discussed. The key idea is to view the inclusive decay or scattering rate as a smeared spectrum. The Euclidean time dependence of correlators obtained on the lattice can…

The high-$p_T$ inclusive spectra measured at the LHC demonstrate a non-perturbative $p_T^{-6}$ dependence. This can be related to observation of a nondecreasing with $p_T$ one-spin asymmetries at RHIC questioning the fact of the spin…

At the Tevatron, the total p_bar-p cross-section has been measured by CDF at 546 GeV and 1.8 TeV, and by E710/E811 at 1.8 TeV. The two results at 1.8 TeV disagree by 2.6 standard deviations, introducing big uncertainties into extrapolations…

A sizeable difference in the differential production cross section of top and antitop quarks, respectively, is predicted for hadronically produced heavy quarks. It is of order $\alpha_s$ and arises from the interference between charge odd…

Colliding high energy hadrons either produce new particles or scatter elastically with their quantum numbers conserved and no other particles produced. We consider the latter case here. Although inelastic processes dominate at high…
