Top-quark forward-backward asymmetry in e+e- annihilation at NNLO in QCD

Abstract

We report on a complete calculation of electroweak production of top quark pairs in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation at next-to-next-to-leading order in Quantum Chromodynamics. Our setup is fully differential and can be used to calculate any infrared-safe observable. Especially we calculated the next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to top-quark forward-backward asymmetry and found sizable effects. Our results show a large reduction of the theoretical uncertainties in predictions of the forward-backward asymmetry, and allow a precision determination of the top quark electroweak couplings at future $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ colliders.
