Considering several variants of a new physics scenario with a light colour octet, it is seen that for tt¯ these asymmetries may have a sensitivity competitive with the dilepton asymmetry already measured. For tt¯γ the new leptonic asymmetries, as well as the tt¯ charge asymmetry, will reach their full potential with the high luminosity LHC upgrade. These asymmetries can pinpoint deviations at the 3σ−4σ level for new physics scenarios where the charge asymmetries already measured in tt¯ production agree within 1σ.}, organization = {This work has been supported by MINECO Project FPA 2013-47836-C3-2-P (including ERDF).}, title = {Single lepton charge asymmetries in t ¯t and t ¯tγ production at the LHC}, doi = {10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-5917-7}, author = {Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio}, }
