Top quark forward-backward asymmetry in the large invariant mass region

The forward-backward asymmetry in top-pair production that was observed in 2008 gets a boost in a recent CDF publication. Not only has the forward-backward asymmetry been further confirmed, but also distributional preferences are shown. Strikingly, the forward-backward asymmetry is the most sizable in the large Mtt invariant mass region and in the large rapidity difference |Δy| region. Here we used our previously proposed t-channel exchanged W' boson to explain the new observations. We show that a new particle exchanged in the t channel generically gives rise to such observations. Furthermore, we show that the proposed W' can be directly produced in association with a top quark at the Tevatron and the LHC. We perform a signal-background analysis and show that such a W' is readily observed at the Tevatron with a 10 fb-1 luminosity and at the LHC-7 with just a 100 pb-1 luminosity.
