摘要
We examine a supersymmetric explanation for the anomalously high forward-backward asymmetry in top pair production measured by CDF and D0. We suppose that it is due to the t-channel exchange of a right-handed sbottom which couples to d(R) and t(R), as is present in the R-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model. We show that all Tevatron and LHC experiments' t (t) over bar constraints may be respected for a sbottom mass between 300 and 1200 GeV, and a large Yukawa coupling >2.2, yielding A(FB) up to 0.18. The non-Standard Model contribution to the LHC charge asymmetry parameter is Delta A(C)(y) = 0.017-0.045, small enough to be consistent with current measurements but nonzero and positive, allowing for LHC confirmation in the future within 20 fb(-1). A small additional contribution to the LHC t (t) over bar production cross section is also predicted, allowing a further test. We estimate that 10 fb(-1) of LHC luminosity would be sufficient to rule out the proposal to 95% confidence level, if the measurements of the t (t) over bar cross section turn out to be centered on the Standard Model prediction.
