Physics Letters B Vol. 756. P. 52-71Abstract: In the View the MathML sourcepp→tt¯ process the angular distributions of top and anti-top quarks are expected to present a subtle difference, which could be enhanced by processes not included in the Standard Model. This Letter presents a measurement of the charge asymmetry in events where the top-quark pair is produced with a large invariant mass. The analysis is performed on 20.3 fb−1 of pp collision data at View the MathML sources=8TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, using reconstruction techniques specifically designed for the decay topology of highly boosted top quarks. The charge asymmetry in a fiducial region with large invariant mass of the top-quark pair (View the MathML sourcemtt¯>0.75 TeV) and an absolute rapidity difference of the top and anti-top quark candidates within View the MathML source−2<|yt|−|yt¯|<2 is measured to be 4.2±3.2%4.2±3.2%, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction at next-to-leading order. A differential measurement in three View the MathML sourcett¯ mass bins is also presented.
