Title: Asymmetry in production of top quarks
Speaker: Regina Demina (Rochester)
Abstract: Results from the Tevatron experiments suggest that there is a forward-backward asymmetry in the production of the top and antitop quarks, namely the top quark is emitted preferentially in the direction of the initial proton. I will review the latest results on the asymmetry measurement from the Tevatron. Kinematic dependencies of these asymmetries are discussed. I will also comment on the consistency of the Tevatron and LHC data.
