A measurement of the top-antitop (t¯t) charge asymmetry is presented using
data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb−1 of LHC pp collisions at a centreof-
mass energy of 7TeV collected by the ATLAS detector. Events with two charged leptons,
at least two jets and large missing transverse momentum are selected. Two observables are
studied: A``
C based on the identified charged leptons, and At¯t
C , based on the reconstructed
t¯t final state. The asymmetries are measured to be
A``
C = 0.024 ± 0.015 (stat.) ± 0.009 (syst.) ,
At¯t
C = 0.021 ± 0.025 (stat.) ± 0.017 (syst.) .
The measured values are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.
