It is of order $\\alpha_s$ and arises from the interference between charge odd and even amplitudes respectively. For the TEVATRON it amounts to approximately 5-10% in the region where the cross section is large and could therefore be measured in the next round of experiments. At the LHC the asymmetry can be studied by selecting appropriately chosen kinematical regions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1998-07-20T16:59:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "charge asymmetry", "differential production cross section", "hadroproduction", "charge odd", "hadronically produced heavy quarks" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
