Forward-Backward Asymmetries in Hadronically Produced Lepton Pairs

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

It has now become possible to observe appreciable numbers of hadronically produced lepton pairs in mass ranges where the contributions of the photon and Z0Z^0 are comparable. Consequently, in the reaction ppˉ++p \bar p \to \ell^- \ell^+ + \ldots, substantial forward-backward asymmetries can be seen. These asymmetries provide a test of the electroweak theory in a new regime of energies, and can serve as diagnostics for any new neutral vector bosons coupling both to quarks and to charged lepton pairs.
