FORWARD-BACKWARD ASYMMETRIES

The forward-backward assymmetry is defined as A$_{FB}({{\mathit \Lambda}_{{{b}}}^{0}}$) = [ N(F) $−$ N(B)] $/$ [N(F) + N(B) ], where the forward (F) direction corresponds to a particle (${{\mathit \Lambda}_{{{b}}}^{0}}$ or ${{\mathit \Lambda}_{{{b}}}^{-}}$) sharing valence quark flavors with a beam particle with the same sign of rapidity.

A${}^{{{\mathit \ell}}h}_{FB}$ in ${{\mathit \Lambda}_{{{b}}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \Lambda}}{{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \mu}^{-}}$
