Description
The possibilities to measure lepton forward-backward asymmetries at the CERN LHC in the reaction pp(qi bar q)→l+l- are studied for dilepton events with masses above 400 GeV. It is shown that such measurements allow accurate tests of the neutral current interference structure up to about 2 TeV center-of-mass energies. The sensitivity of asymmetries at the LHC to new physics is demonstrated within the context of quark compositeness and exotic Z' scenarios. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
