Experimental Seminar Series

WELCOME to EXPERIMENTAL SEMINAR SERIES

The SLAC Experimental Seminars series hosts speakers from all over the world to talk about the latest development in particle physics experiments. It also extends to astrophysics based on the wide range of research activities in the laboratory and frequently invites theorists.  more »

Abstract:

The anomalous large forward-backward asymmetry of top-quark pairs measured at the Tevatron has been a hot topic for almost a decade. In this talk we will discuss this important result and additional handles to follow on it with new final states and a measurement of the leptonic asymmetry. We will focus on recent developments on the measurement methodologies, new results from the CDF experiment, as well as prospects of the Tevatron legacy results on this topic.
