Beauty-quark and charm-quark pair production asymmetries at LHCb The LHCb Collaboration has recently performed a first measurement of the angular production corresponding standard model prediction for this asymmetry at fixed order in perturbation theory. measurement of the ratio of the bb̄ and cc̄ cross sections may be useful for experimentally validating More specifically, LHCb has measured the forward-central asymmetry of b-quark pairs (Abb̄FC) measure heavy-quark production asymmetries. predictions for Abb̄FC and the corresponding charm-quark The forward-central asymmetry in heavy-quark production is defined in terms of the pp → QQ̄ cross section σ in contribution to the top-quark asymmetry arises at next-toleading order (NLO) in QCD. In contrast, both the bb̄ and cc̄ asymmetries can receive large contributions from pure EW effects our fixed-order predictions in bins of the heavy quark-pair Predictions for charm-quark pair final states asymmetry Abb̄FC in beauty-quark pair production, providing ./cache/work_l2iu2uhagzgytc3mgl75snljbu.pdf ./txt/work_l2iu2uhagzgytc3mgl75snljbu.txt
