Top Quark Rapidity Distribution And Forward-Backward Asymmetry, Nikolaos Kidonakis
Top Quark Rapidity Distribution And Forward-Backward Asymmetry, Nikolaos Kidonakis
Faculty and Research Publications
I present results for the top quark rapidity distribution at Large Hadron Collider and Tevatron energies, including higher-order corrections from threshold resummation. Approximate next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) results are obtained by adding the NNLO soft-gluon corrections at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm level to the exact next-to-leading-order calculation. Theoretical predictions are shown for the rapidity distribution, including the scale dependence of the distributions. The forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron is also calculated.
