Description
Asymmetry measurements at colliders provide precise tests of the standard model, and allow measurements of the properties of new particles. Asymmetries can arise due to several mechanisms and can be defined in various ways. In this talk, I will focus on asymmetries arising from interference and parton distributions and will present measurements with an emphasis on top quark and other heavy particles of the standard model. In this context, along with measurements in the top quark sector, I will also talk about asymmetries in Drell-Yan lepton pairs and asymmetries that could be used in Higgs boson properties measuments.
