Measurement of the forward-backward asymmetries in the production of Ξ and Ω baryons in \u3ci\u3epp\u3c/i\u3e collisions

Abstract

We measure the forward-backward asymmetries AFB of charged Ξ and Ω baryons produced in pp collisions recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at [?] = 1.96 TeV as a function of the baryon rapidity y. We find that the asymmetries AFB for charged Ξ and Ω baryons are consistent with zero within statistical uncertainties
