Measurement of the forward-backward asymmetries in the production of $\Xi$ and $\Omega$ baryons in $p\bar{p}$ collisions

Abstract

We measure the forward-backward asymmetries $A_{\mathrm{FB}}$ of charged $\Xi$ and $\Omega$ baryons produced in $p\bar{p}$ collisions recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV as a function of the baryon rapidity $y$. We find that the asymmetries $A_{\mathrm{FB}}$ for charged $\Xi$ and $\Omega$ baryons are consistent with zero within statistical uncertainties.
