Measurement of the charge asymmetry in top-quark pair production in the lepton-plus-jets final state in pp collision data at √s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
This paper reports inclusive and differential measurements of the t[bar over t] charge asymmetry A[subscript C] in 20.3 fb[superscript −1] of s√= 8 TeVs pp collisions recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Three differential measurements are performed as a functio...

| description | This paper reports inclusive and differential measurements of the t[bar over t] charge asymmetry A[subscript C] in 20.3 fb[superscript −1] of s√= 8 TeVs pp collisions recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Three differential measurements are performed as a function of the invariant mass, transverse momentum and longitudinal boost of the t[bar over t] system. The t[bar over t] pairs are selected in the single-lepton channels (e or μ) with at least four jets, and a likelihood fit is used to reconstruct the t[bar over t] event kinematics. A Bayesian unfolding procedure is performed to infer the asymmetry at parton level from the observed data distribution. The inclusive t[bar over t] charge asymmetry is measured to be AC=0.009±0.005 (stat. + syst.). The inclusive and differential measurements are compatible with the values predicted by the Standard Model. |
