33. Implications of the top pair forward-backward asymmetry

We study the various theoretical and experimental implications for the recent $t \bar t$ forward backward asymmetry measurements done by the CDF collaboration.

34. The Top Quark Forward Backward Asymmetry and Flavor

Prof. alexander kagan (university of Cincinnati)

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 associated effects on the dσ(t¯t)/dMt¯t distribution, dijet resonance searches, same sign top pair production and other phenomenology are satisfied. We focus on the...

13. Non-resonant new physics in top pair production at hadron colliders

Ms Degrande Celine (UCL)

An effective theory is very useful to study the phenomenology of non-resonant new physics at colliders, in a model-independent way. After introducing all the new operators relevant for top pair production, I will then present the constraints on their coefficients derived from Tevatron results. Finally, I will show how the associated new interactions could manifest them-selves at the LHC.
