The Forward–backward Asymmetry in Nnlo Qcd

We have recently calculated the second-order QCD corrections to the forward–backward asymmetry in ee annihilation. Here we recall the results and compare them to others in the literature.

The forward-backward asymmetry at NNLO revisited

I reconsider the forward-backward asymmetry for flavoured quarks in electron-positron annihilation. I suggest an infrared-safe definition of this observable, such that the asymmetry may be computed in perturbative QCD with massless quarks. With this definition, the first and second order QCD corrections are computed.

Effect of Rescattering on Forward-Backward Correlations

We use the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamic model (UrQMD v2.2) to study forward-backward fluctuations and compare our results with the data published by the PHOBOS experiment. The extracted effective cluster multiplicities show a clear centrality dependence within the present hadron-string transport approach. This behavior is not reproduced with models not taking into account final ...

tt̄ CROSS-SECTION AND FORWARD-BACKWARD ASYMMETRY AT CLIC

A top-quark reconstruction method at Clic is described. The reconstructed events are used to measure the ee → tt̄ cross-section as well as the forwardbackward asymmetry. The results suggest that the measurement accuracy for the cross-section will be δσ σ = 1.4 % and for the asymmetry δAF B AF B = 4.2 % for 1 ab.
