Measurements of top quark production and properties at the Tevatron

TL;DR

This paper summarizes recent measurements of top-quark production and properties at the Tevatron, highlighting mostly consistent results with the standard model but noting a discrepancy in production asymmetry measurements between experiments.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of top-quark production measurements at the Tevatron, excluding mass and single top results, and compares asymmetry findings between CDF and DØ.

Findings

Most measurements agree with the standard model.

CDF observes a production asymmetry discrepancy.

DØ results align with standard model and CDF.

Abstract

In this letter, we summarize the latest results of the top-quark production and properties at the Tevatron. We do not include results of the top-quark mass and single top-quark production as they were presented in separate talks. The results of the measurements are mostly consistent with the standard-model predictions. However, by looking at the production asymmetry measured by CDF, one can see a discrepancy in both, $t\bar{t}$ inclusive and lepton-based measurements. D\O\ results of production asymmetry are compatible with the standard-model predictions as well as with the CDF results.
