We present a study of the experimental determination of the forward-backward asymmetry in the process $e^+e^-\to t\bar t$ and in the subsequent $t\to Wb$ decay, studied in the context of the International Linear Collider. This process…

The Forward-Backward Asymmetry (AFB) in $Z^\prime$ physics is commonly only perceived as the observable which possibly allows one to interpret a $Z^\prime$ signal by distinguishing different models of such (heavy) spin-1 bosons. In this…

We present recent preliminary measurements at the Tevatron of t-tbar and single top production cross section, top quark mass and width, top pair spin correlations and forward-backward asymmetry. In the electroweak sector, we present the…
A flavor-nonuniversal chiral color model is introduced. It is used for comparison to the recent data on $\bar{p} p \to \bar{t} t$. We concluded that the data are consistent with interpretation as an axigluon exchange within 1$\sigma$ and a…
This Letter reports a search for non standard model topquark resonances, $Z'$, decaying to $t\bar{t} \rightarrow W^+b W^-\bar{b}$ %\rightarrow qq'b qq' \bar{b}$, where both $W$ decay to quarks. We examine the top-antitop quark invariant…

We find that a heavy gluon G of mass 800-900 GeV with small, mostly axial-vector couplings to the light quarks and relatively large vector and axial-vector couplings to the top quark can explain the t \bar{t} forward-backward asymmetry…
This review summarizes the program in the physics of the top quark being pursued at Fermilab's Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. More than a decade after the discovery of the top quark at the two…
We study the effects of the complete supersymmetric QCD and electroweak one-loop corrections to the ttbar forward-backward asymmetry at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We work in the complex Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM),…
We show that the forward-backward asymmetry in top quark pair production can be enhanced by fields that transform nontrivially under the flavour group and satisfy Minimal Flavour Violation, while at the same time the constraints from…

We measure the particle-level forward-backward production asymmetry in $b\bar{b}$ pairs with masses $m(b\bar{b})$ larger than 150 GeV/$c^2$, using events with hadronic jets and employing jet charge to distinguish $b$ from $\bar{b}$. The…
An influence of the anomalous Wtb coupling on forward-backward asymmetry of top quark pair production at the Tevatron is investigated taking into account decays of the top quarks to 6 fermion final states containing one charged lepton. To…
