Axigluon as possible explanation for p(p)over-bar -> t(t)over-bar forward-backward asymmetry postprint

Abstract: A flavor-nonuniversal chiral color model is introduced. It is used for comparison to the recent data on (p) over barp -> (t) over bart. We concluded that the data are consistent with interpretation as an axigluon exchange within 1 sigma and a unique rise and fall behavior is predicated with regard to the asymmetry A(FB)(t) as a function of t (t) over bar invariant mass, which can distinguish our model from others before one discovers the axigluon resonance. Further aspects of the model are discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
