====== TTP98-19 Charge asymmetry of top production at hadron colliders ======
 
 
<hidden TTP98-19  Charge asymmetry of top production at hadron colliders > A sizeable difference in the differential production cross section
 of top and antitop quarks, respectively, is predicted for 
 hadronically produced heavy quarks.
 It is of order $\alpha_s$ and arises from the 
 interference between charge odd and even amplitudes respectively.
 For the TEVATRON it amounts up to 15\% for the differential 
 distribution in suitable chosen kinematical regions.
 The resulting integrated forward-backward asymmetry of 
 4--5\% could be measured in the next round of experiments.
 At the LHC the asymmetry can be studied by selecting 
 appropriately chosen kinematical regions.
