Abstract

Both CDF and DO report a forward-backward asymmetry in t-tbar production that is above the standard model prediction. We review new physics models that can give a large forward backward asymmetry in t-tbar production at the Tevatron and the constraints these models face from searches for dijet resonances and contact interactions, from flavor physics and the t-tbar cross section. Expected signals at the LHC are also reviewed.
