1  AALTONEN 2018 based on $9 - 10$ fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ data at $\sqrt {s }$ = 1.96 TeV. The value is the asymmetry in the number of reconstructed ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ events with rapidity y$_{t}$ $>$ y$_{{{\overline{\mathit t}}}}$ and those with y$_{t}$ $<$ y$_{{{\overline{\mathit t}}}}$. The combined fits to CDF and D0 single lepton and ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \ell}}$ asymmetries give $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ = $0.073$ $\pm0.016$ $\pm0.012$ and $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}} {{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ = $0.108$ $\pm0.043$ $\pm0.016$, respectively. The results are consistent with the SM predictions.
2  ABAZOV 2015K based on 9.7 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. The result is consistent with the SM predictions. By combining with the previous D0 measurement in the ${{\mathit \ell}}$ + jet channel ABAZOV 2014H, $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ = $0.118$ $\pm0.025$ $\pm0.013$ is obtained.
3  AALTONEN 2014F based on 9.1 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ and $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ denote, respectively, the asymmetries ($\mathit N(\mathit x>0)\text{-}\mathit N(\mathit x<0))/\mathit N_{tot}$ for $\mathit x={{\mathit q}}_{{{\mathit \ell}}}\eta _{{{\mathit \ell}}}$ (${{\mathit q}}_{{{\mathit \ell}}}$ is the charge of ${{\mathit \ell}}$) and $\mathit x=\eta _{{{\mathit \ell}}{}^{+}}\text{-}\eta _{{{\mathit \ell}}{}^{-}}$. Both results are consistent with the SM predictions. By combining with the previous CDF measurement in the ${{\mathit \ell}}$+jet channel AALTONEN 2013X, $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ = $0.098$ ${}^{+0.028}_{-0.026}$ is obtained. The combined result is about two sigma larger than the SM prediction of $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ = $0.038$ $\pm0.003$.
4  Based on 9.7 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ data at $\sqrt {s }$ = 1.96 TeV. The asymmetry is corrected for the production level for events with $\vert $y$_{l}\vert $ $<$ 1.5. Asymmetry as functions of $\mathit E_{T}({{\mathit \ell}}$) and $\vert $y$_{l}\vert $ are given in Figs. 7 and 8, respectively. Combination with the asymmetry measured in the dilepton channel [ABAZOV 2013P] gives $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ = $4.2$ $\pm2.0$ $\pm1.4$ $\%$, in agreement with the SM prediction of 2.0$\%$.
5  Based on 9.7 fb${}^{-1}$ of data of ${{\mathit p}}{{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ data at $\sqrt {s }$=1.96 TeV. The measured asymmetry is in agreement with the SM predictions of $8.8$ $\pm0.9$ $\%$ [BERNREUTHER 2012], which includes the EW effects. The dependences of the asymmetry on $\vert $y(${{\mathit t}}$) $−$ y(${{\overline{\mathit t}}})\vert $ and ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit t}} {{\overline{\mathit t}}}}$ are shown in Figs. 9 and 10, respectively.
6  Based on 9.4 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. Reported $A_{FB}$ values come from the determination of ${{\mathit a}_{{{i}}}}$ coefficients of d$\sigma $/d(cos$\theta _{t}$) = $\Sigma _{i}{{\mathit a}_{{{i}}}}P_{i}$(cos($\theta _{t}$)) measurement. The result of ${{\mathit a}_{{{1}}}}/{{\mathit a}_{{{0}}}}$ = ($40$ $\pm12)\%$ seems higher than the NLO SM prediction of ($15$ ${}^{+7}_{-3})\%$.
7  Based on 9.4 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. The quoted result is the asymmetry at the parton level.
8  Based on 9.4 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. The observed asymmetry is to be compared with the SM prediction of $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ = $0.038$ $\pm0.003$.
9  Based on 5.4 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. ABAZOV 2013A studied the dilepton channel of the ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ events and measured the leptonic forward-backward asymmetry to be $\mathit A{}^{{{\mathit \ell}}}_{FB}$ = $5.8$ $\pm5.1$ $\pm1.3\%$, which is consistent with the SM (QCD+EW) prediction of $4.7$ $\pm0.1\%$. The result is obtained after combining the measurement ($15.2$ $\pm4.0\%$) in the ${{\mathit \ell}}$ + jets channel ABAZOV 2011AH. The top quark helicity is measured by using the neutrino weighting method to be consistent with zero in both dilepton and ${{\mathit \ell}}$ + jets channels.
10  Based on 5.3 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. The error is statistical and systematic combined. Events with lepton + $\not E_T$ + ${}\geq{}$4jets(${}\geq{}1{{\mathit b}}$) are used. AALTONEN 2011F also measures the asymmetry as a function of the rapidity difference $\vert $y$_{t}$ $−$ y$_{{{\overline{\mathit t}}}}$ $\vert $. The NLO QCD predictions [MCFM] are ($4.0$ $\pm0.6)\%$ and ($8.8$ $\pm1.3)\%$ for ${\mathit m}_{\mathrm {{{\mathit t}} {{\overline{\mathit t}}}}}$ $<$ 450 and $>$ 450 GeV, respectively.
11  Based on 5.4 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. The error is statistical and systematic combined. The quoted asymmetry is obtained after unfolding to be compared with the MC@NLO prediction of ($5.0$ $\pm0.1)\%$. No significant difference between the ${\mathit m}_{\mathrm {{{\mathit t}} {{\overline{\mathit t}}}}}$ $<$ 450 and $>$ 450 GeV data samples is found. A corrected asymmetry based on the lepton from a top quark decay of ($15.2$ $\pm4.0)\%$ is measured to be compared to the MC@NLO prediction of ($2.1$ $\pm0.1)\%$.
12  Result is based on 1.9 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. The $\mathit FB$ asymmetry in the ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ events has been measured in the ${{\mathit \ell}}$ + jets mode, where the lepton charge is used as the flavor tag. The asymmetry in the ${{\mathit p}}{{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ frame is defined in terms of cos $(\theta )$ of hadronically decaying ${{\mathit t}}$-quark momentum, whereas that in the ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ frame is defined in terms of the ${{\mathit t}}$ and ${{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ rapidity difference. The results are consistent (${}\leq{}$ 2 $\sigma $) with the SM predictions.
13  Result is based on 0.9 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. The asymmetry in the number of ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ events with y$_{t}$ $>$ y$_{{{\overline{\mathit t}}}}$ and those with y$_{t}$ $<$ y$_{{{\overline{\mathit t}}}}$ has been measured in the lepton + jets final state. The observed value is consistent with the SM prediction of 0.8$\%$ by MC@NLO, and an upper bound on the ${{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ contribution for the SM ${{\mathit Z}}$-like couplings is given in in Fig. 2 for 350 GeV $<$ ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}}$ $<$ 1 TeV.
