Measurement of the Forward-Backward Charge Asymmetry in Top-Quark Pair Production in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at D0
A measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry in top-antitop (t\bar{t}) pair production in proton-antiproton (p\bar{p}) collisions is presented. The asymmetry is measured for different jet multiplicities in the lepton+jets final state on 0.9 fb^{-1} of data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The result is sensitive to new physics, which is demonstrated by setting an upper limit on t\bar{t} production via heavy neutral gauge bosons (Z^{\prime}).
