MSSM corrections to the top-antitop quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron

چکیده
We study the effects of the complete supersymmetric QCD and electroweak one-loop corrections to the tt̄ forward-backward asymmetry at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ collider. We work in the complex Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), only restricted by the condition of minimal flavor violation (MFV). We perform a comprehensive scan over the relevant parameter space of the complex MFV-MSSM and determine the maximal possible contributions of these MSSM loop corrections to the forward-backward asymmetry in the tt̄ center-of-mass frame. PACS numbers: 12.38.Bx, 12.60.Jv, 13.60.Hb, 14.65.Ha

Hadronic top-quark pair production in association with a hard jet at next-to-leading order QCD: Phenomenological studies for the Tevatron and the LHC
We report on the calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of top–antitop-quark pairs in association with a hard jet at the Tevatron and at the LHC. Results for integrated and differential cross sections are presented. We find a significant reduction of the scale dependence. In most cases the corrections are below 20% indicating that the perturbative expansion i...
متن کاملImproving the Top Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry Measurement at the LHC
At the LHC, top quark pairs are dominantly produced from gluons, making it difficult to measure the top quark forward-backward asymmetry. To improve the asymmetry measurement, we study variables that can distinguish between top quarks produced from quarks and those from gluons: the invariant mass of the top pair, the rapidity of the top-antitop system in the lab frame, the rapidity of the top q...
متن کاملThe Top Quark Forward-backward Asymmetry at Approximate N3LO
I calculate the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron in both the laboratory frame and the tt̄ rest frame. I show that soft-gluon corrections are the dominant contribution to the asymmetry and closely approximate exact results through next-tonext-to-leading order (NNLO). I present a calculation of the asymmetry including approximate next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order (N3LO) sof...
متن کاملForward-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 کاملMeasurement of the Forward-Backward Charge Asymmetry in Top-Quark Pair Production in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at DØ
A measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry in top-antitop (tt̄) pair production in proton-antiproton (pp̄) collisions is presented. The asymmetry is measured for different jet multiplicities in the lepton+jets final state on 0.9 fb−1 of data collected by the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The result is sensitive to new physics, which is demonstrated by setting an upp...
