We measure the particle-level forward-backward production asymmetry in $b\bar{b}$ pairs with masses $m(b\bar{b})$ larger than 150 GeV/$c^2$, using events with hadronic jets and employing jet charge to distinguish $b$ from $\bar{b}$. The measurement uses 9.5/fb of ppbar collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV recorded by the CDF II detector. The asymmetry as a function of $m(b\bar{b})$ is consistent with zero, as well as with the predictions of the standard model. The measurement disfavors a simple model including an axigluon with a mass of 200 GeV/$c^2$ whereas a model containing a heavier 345 GeV/$c^2$ axigluon is not excluded.

The charge asymmetry of leptons from W-boson decay has been measured using p¯p data from the Collider Detector at Fermilab at √s =1.8 TeV. The observed asymmetry is well described by most of the available parton distributions.

A Determination of sin**2-theta from the forward - backward asymmetry in p anti-p ---> Z0 X ---> e+ e- X interactions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Amidei, Dante E. ; Apollinari, G. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 67 (1991) 1502-1506, 1991.
Inspire Record 317764 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19899

An analysis of the forward-backward asymmetry in Z0 decays using data from the Collider Detector at Fermilab at √s =1.8 TeV yields AFB=[5.2±5.9(stat)±0.4(syst)]% and sin2θ¯W =0.228−0.015+0.017(stat)±0.002(syst).
