Top quark pair production at proton-antiproton colliders is known to exhibit a forward-backward asymmetry due to higher-order QCD effects. We explore how this asymmetry might be studied at the Fermilab Tevatron, including how the asymmetry…
In light of the recent measurements of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Fermilab Tevatron experiment, which in some regions of the parameter space shows a discrepancy of 3$\sigma$ compared to the SM prediction, we analyze top…
We propose an axigluon with mass between 400 and 450 GeV and flavor universal couplings to quarks to explain the Tevatron t-tbar forward-backward asymmetry. The model predicts a small negative asymmetry for t-tbar pairs with invariant mass…
The CDF and D0 collaborations have observed a forward-backward asymmetry in t-tbar production at large invariant mass in excess of the standard model prediction. One explanation involves a heavy color octet particle with axial vector…
A larger than expected forward-backward asymmetry in rapidity is observed in top quark pairs produced in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron. The asymmetry is seen in both the top quark distribution $A_{FB}^t$ and in the…
The recent forward-backward asymmetry recorded by the CDF Collaboration for the top and anti-top quark pair production indicates more than $2\sigma$ deviation from the Standard Model prediction, while its total production cross section…
Motivated by the recent unexpected large forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) of the top quark observed by D$\O$ and CDF at the Tevatron, we investigate a possible explanation for the anomaly within the framework of diquark models. Unlike other…
Top-quark pair production at the Tevatron is discussed within the Randall-Sundrum model of warped extra dimensions. Generically, the exchange of massive Kaluza-Klein gluons has the potential to generate a large forward-backward asymmetry.…
CDF has observed a top forward-backward asymmetry discrepant with the Standard Model prediction at 3.4 \sigma. We analyze models that could generate the asymmetry, including flavor-violating W's, horizontal Z'_Hs, triplet and sextet…
We present a measurement of forward-backward asymmetry in top quark-antiquark production in proton-antiproton collisions in the final state containing a lepton and at least four jets. Using a dataset corresponding to an integrated…
Recent results from the CDF Collaboration indicate the the top-pair forward-backward asymmetry is largest in regions of high rapidity difference $|\Delta y|$ and invariant mass $M_{t\bar t}.$ We show that experimental observations can be…
I calculate the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron in both the laboratory frame and the $t{\bar t}$ rest frame. I show that soft-gluon corrections are the dominant contribution to the asymmetry and closely approximate…
The large forward-backward asymmetry of the top quark pair production measured by the hadron colliders shed light on new physics signals beyond the Standard Model. In the Randall-Sundrum model with an additional SU(3) group in the strong…
Within the paradigm of warped extra dimensions, third generation quarks are expected to be the most sensitive to effects beyond the Standard Model. The anomalies observed at the LEP and Tevatron colliders in the forward-backward asymmetries…
In order to explain the Tevatron anomaly of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}^t$ in the left-right twin Higgs model, we choose to give up the lightest neutral particle of $\hat{h}$ field as a stable dark matter candidate.…
The forward-backward asymmetry for top quarks measured in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron shows an interesting deviation from standard model expectations. Among possible interpretations, the exchange of a non-universal,…
The anomaly of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry $A^t_{FB}$ observed at the Tevatron can be explained by the t-channel exchange of a neutral gauge boson (Z') which has sizable flavor changing coupling for top and up quarks. This…
The top forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) observed at the Tevatron has been a hot issue in particle physics for the last few years. In this talk, I describe two different approaches for the top FBA at the Tevatron, one in effective field…
In this paper, forward-backward asymmetry and differential cross section of top quark in flavor violating $Z'$ model up to $\mathscr{O}(\alpha_s^2 \alpha_X)$ at Tevatron are calculated. In order to account for the top observed large…
The Tevatron has measured a discrepancy relative to the Standard Model prediction in the forward-backward asymmetry in top quark pair production. This asymmetry grows with the rapidity difference of the two top quarks. It also increases…
