Top Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry and Same-Sign Top Quark Pairs

Journal Article Berger, Edmond L ; Qinghong, Cao ; Enrico Fermi Institute, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637 ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The top quark forward-backward asymmetry measured at the Tevatron collider shows a large deviation from standard model expectations. Among possible interpretations, a nonuniversal Z{sup '} model is of particular interest as it naturally predicts a top quark in the forward region of large rapidity. To reproduce the size of the asymmetry, the couplings of the Z{sup '} to standard model quarks must be large, inevitably leading to copious production of same-sign top quark pairs at the energies of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We explore the discovery potential for tt and ttj production in early LHC experiments at 7-8 TeVmore »« less

The top quark forward-backward asymmetry measured at the Tevatron collider shows a large deviation from standard model expectations.

Top quark forward-backward asymmetry, flavor-changing neutral-current decays, and like-sign pair production as a joint probe of new physics

Journal Article Junjie, Cao ; Lin, Wang ; Key Laboratory of Frontiers in Theoretical Physics, Institute of Theoretical Physics, Academia Sinica, Beijing 100190 ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The anomaly of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry A{sub FB}{sup t} observed at the Tevatron can be explained by the t-channel exchange of a neutral gauge boson (Z{sup '}) which has sizable flavor-changing coupling for top and up quarks. This gauge boson can also induce the top quark flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) decays and the like-sign top pair production at the LHC. In this work, we focus on two models which predict such a Z', namely, the left-right model and the U(1){sub X} model, to investigate the correlated effects on A{sub FB}{sup t}, the FCNC decays t{yields}uV (V=g, Z, {gamma}) andmore »« less

Measurement of the Forward-Backward Charge Asymmetry in Top-Quark Pair Production

Journal Article Abazov, V M ; Alexeev, G D ; Kalinin, A M ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We present the first measurement of the integrated forward-backward charge asymmetry in top-quark-top-antiquark pair (tt) production in proton-antiproton (pp) collisions in the lepton+jets final state. Using a b-jet tagging algorithm and kinematic reconstruction assuming tt+X production and decay, a sample of 0.9 fb{sup -1} of data, collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, is used to measure the asymmetry for different jet multiplicities. The result is also used to set upper limits on tt+X production via a Z{sup '} resonance.

First measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry in top quark pair production

Journal Article Abazov, V. M. ; et al. - Phys.Rev.Lett.

We present the first measurement of the integrated forward-backward charge asymmetry in top-antitop quark pair (ttbar) production in proton-antiproton collisions in the lepton plus jets final state. Using a b-jet tagging algorithm and kinematic reconstruction assuming ttbar+X production and decay, a sample of 0.9fb-1 of data, collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, is used to measure the asymmetry for different jet multiplicities. The result is also used to set upper limits on ttbar+X production via a Z' resonance.
