t tbar charge asymmetry, family and friends

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.
