Forward-backward asymmetry of top quark in unparticle physics

Abstract

The updated CDF measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) in the top quark production p{bar p} -> t{bar t} at Tevatron (with the CMS energy 1.96 TeV) shows a deviation of 2*sigma from the value predicted by the Standard QCD Model. We present calculation of this quantity in the scenario where colored unparticle physics contributes to the s-channel of the process, and obtain the regions in the plane of the unparticle parameters lambda and dU which give the values of the FBA and of the total t{bar t} production cross section compatible with the present measurements.

15 pages, 5 figures; various typos corrected, fig.3 has higher resolution, Ref.[16](2nd entry) is new; version to appear in Phys.Lett.B
