Description
The abundance of top-quarks at the LHC allows us to test subtle features such as the charge asymmetry in top-antitop production. In this talk, you will get a brief overview of proposed observables to measure the charge asymmetry with data from Run II. The focus will be on the energy asymmetry in jet-associated top-antitop production. I will present new predictions of the energy asymmetry beyond the leading order in QCD and venture an outlook on the discovery prospects during Run II.
