Abstract

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