Simple models for the top asymmetry: constraints and predictions Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio Pérez-Victoria, Manuel Top quark Forward-backward (FB) Standard model Tevatron We perform a comprehensive study of the allowed range for the Tevatron t tbar forward-backward asymmetries in six representative new physics models: a flavour-changing Z' boson, a scalar isodoublet, a W' boson, a heavy axigluon, a colour-triplet and a colour-sextet scalar. We devote special attention to the constraints from the t tbar tail at LHC on the parameter space, which will be dramatic if the measurements agree with the SM prediction, specially for Z' and W' bosons. We also study the predictions for the charge asymmetries at LHC and compare several proposed definitions. 2014-02-24T14:06:24Z 2014-02-24T14:06:24Z 2011 journal article Aguilar-Saavedra, J.A.; Pérez-Victoria, M.
