$A^t_{FB}$ Meets LHC

The recent Tevatron measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of the top quark shows an intriguing discrepancy with Standard Model expectations, particularly at large t t invariant masses. Measurements of this quantity are subtle at the LHC, due to its pp initial state, however, one can dene a forward-central-charge asymmetry which captures the physics. We study the capability of the LHC to measure this asymmetry and nd that within the SM a measurement at the 5 level
