The experimental results seem to exceed the theory predictions based on the Standard Model by a significant amount and have triggered a large number of suggestions for {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}new physics{\textquoteright}. In the present paper the Standard Model predictions for Tevatron and LHe experiments are revisited. This includes a reanalysis of electromagnetic as well as weak corrections, leading to a shift of the asymmetry by roughly a factor 1.1 when compared to the results of the first papers on this subject. The impact of cuts on the transverse momentum of the top-antitop system is studied. Restricting the it system to a transverse momentum less than 20 GeV leads to an enhancement of the asymmetries by factors between 1.3 and 1.5, indicating the importance of an improved understanding of the tt-momentum distribution. Predictions for similar measurements at the LHC are presented, demonstrating the sensitivity of the large rapidity region bot ti to the Standard Model contribution and effects from {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}new physics{\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}.", optnote="WOS:000300181800063", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=971), last updated on Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:01:28 +0000", issn="1126-6708", doi="10.1007/JHEP01(2012)063", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.6830", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP01(2012)063", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1109.6830", language="English" }
