چکیده
We measure the inclusive forward-backward asymmetry of the charged-lepton pseudorapidities from top-quark pairs produced in proton-antiproton collisions and decaying to final states that contain two charged leptons (electrons or muons). The data are collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 9.1 fb(-1). We measure the leptonic forward-backward asymmetry, A(FB)(ℓ), to be 0.072 ± 0.060 and the leptonic pair forward-backward asymmetry, A(FB)(ℓℓ), to be 0.076 ± 0.082. The measured values can be compared with the standard model predictions of A(FB)(ℓ) = 0.038 ± 0.003 and A(FB)(ℓℓ) = 0.048 ± 0.004, respectively. Additionally, we combine the A(FB)(ℓ) result with a previous determination from a final state with a single lepton and hadronic jets and obtain A(FB)(ℓ) = 0.090(-0.026)(+0.028).

Forward-backward asymmetries in top-antitop quark production at the Tevatron
We present the combined results on inclusive forward-backward asymmetries in the production of top-antitop quark pairs and their decay leptons. The analysis is based on measurements by the CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab pp Tevatron collider using all the data collected at √ s = 1.96 TeV. The measured asymmetries are in agreement with standard model predictions.
متن کاملQCD Corrections to Inclusive Distributions of Leptons in Decays of Polarised Heavy Quarks*
Compact analytic expressions have been obtained for the first order perturbative QCD corrections to the inclusive spectra of the leptons in the semileptonic decays of polarised heavy quarks. Charmed and beautiful Λ baryons from Z decays can be viewed as sources of highly polarised charm and bottom quarks. Charged leptons and neutrinos from Λb and Λc decays can be used in the polarisation studie...
متن کاملResolving the Tevatron Top Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry Puzzle: Fully Differential Next-to-Next-to-Leading-Order Calculation.
We determine the dominant missing standard model (SM) contribution to the top quark pair forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron. Contrary to past expectations, we find a large, around 27%, shift relative to the well-known value of the inclusive asymmetry in next-to-leading order QCD. Combining all known standard model corrections, we find that A(FB)(SM)=0.095±0.007. This value is in agreeme...
متن کاملOn the Charged Higgs Bosons Effects in the Top Quark Decays
The collider experiments at the Tevatron and the LHC provide us the possibility of probing the existence of a light charged Higgs boson. In this paper we study semi-leptonic decay of a polarized top quark via the charged Higgs boson (t(↑) → Hb → lνlb). It is shown that the asymmetry or spin correlation coefficient of the charged lepton depends on the tanβ andMH± and is quite different from the ...
متن کاملEnhancing the Top Signal at Tevatron Using Neural Nets *
We show that Neural Nets can be useful for top analysis at Tevatron. The main features of t ¯ t and background events on a mixed sample are projected in a single output, which controls the efficiency and purity of the t ¯ t signal. The announced discovery of the top quark by CDF [1] at Tevatron has originated a big excitation in the scientific community. Although the statistics is too limited †...
متن کاملMeasurement of the helicity of W bosons in top quark decays
We use the transverse momentum spectrum of leptons in the decay chain t-->bW with W-->lnu to measure the helicity of the W bosons in the top quark rest frame. Our measurement uses a t&tmacr; sample isolated in 106+/-4 pb(-1) of data collected in p&pmacr; collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV with the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Assuming a standard V-A weak decay, we find that the fraction ...
