t tbar charge asymmetry, family and friends

TL;DR

This paper reviews the current understanding of top-antitop charge asymmetries at the Tevatron and LHC, exploring their theoretical relations and related observables like differential distributions and polarization.

Contribution

It clarifies the relationship between Tevatron and LHC asymmetries using collider-independent frameworks and discusses related top quark observables.

Findings

Relation between Tevatron and LHC asymmetries elucidated

Discussion of top polarisation and differential distributions

Framework for collider-independent asymmetries established

Abstract

We present the current status of the Tevatron charge asymmetry and its sister asymmetry at the LHC. The relation between both is elucidated, using as framework the collider-independent asymmetries they originate from. Other related observables, such as the t tbar differential distribution and top polarisation, are also discussed.
