Description
The top quark pair charge asymmetry is an asymmetry
predicted to occur beyond leading-order QCD in the Standard Model, and
may be significantly enhanced by the presence of new physics. The
ttbar production charge asymmetry is measured inclusively and
differentially using the 7 and 8 TeV ATLAS datasets. Making use of the
large number of top quark pairs collected, we also present
measurements of the spin correlation between top and anti-top quarks
using several variables and discuss their sensitivity to new
physics. A search for flavour changing neutral current processes in
top quark decays is also presented.
