Description
The large forward-backward asymmetry in top pair-production observed at the Tevatron has generated much excitement in recent times. Many different models have been proposed as possible explanations for this anomaly. We discuss how the measurement of the polarization of the top quark can be used to establish the role of new physics in generating the observed asymmetry and to characterize and discriminate among various models.
