Top Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry

Abstract

The recent forward-backward asymmetry recorded by the CDF Collaboration for the top and anti-top quark pair production indicates more than $2\sigma$ deviation from the Standard Model prediction, while its total production cross section remains consistent. We propose a $W^{\prime }$ boson that couples to down and top quarks. We identify the parameter space that can give rise a large enough forward-backward asymmetry without producing too many top and anti-top quark pairs. Other models presented erstwhile in the literature that can produce such effects are also discussed.
