The Forward-Backward Asymmetry in Top Quark Pair Production

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Jock McOrist .

According to the Standard Model, top quark pair production at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider should exhibit a small forward-backward asymmetry, of the order of 5%. The CDF Collaboration has recently reported an asymmetry that is significantly larger, approaching 50% at high values of the pair invariant mass. The talk will discuss the experimental results, some suggested explanations, and the prospects for clarification at the Large Hadron Collider.

This talk is part of the Theoretical Physics Colloquium series.
