Inclusive and differential measurements of the ttbar charge asymmetry at 8 TeV with the CMS experiment

The ttbar charge asymmetry is measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The data, collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7/fb. Selected events contain an electron or a muon and four or more jets, where at least one jet is identified as originating from b-quark hadronization. The ttbar charge asymmetry is measured inclusively and differentially as a function of rapidity, transverse momentum, and invariant mass of the ttbar system. For the first time at the LHC, the measurements are also performed in a reduced fiducial phase space of top quark pair production.
