Abstract

We compute, for top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider, the collider-independent forward-backward asymmetries defined by [Aguilar-Saavedra and Juste, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 211804 (2012).] in the standard model at next-to-leading order in QCD, including also electromagnetic and weak corrections.
