Massive Spin-2 States as the Origin of the Top Quarks Forward-Backward Asymmetry

With a new analysis by CDF,  the top quarks forward-backward asymmetry still remains.  Moreover, CDF also observed a clear rise of the asymmetry with the invariant mass of the top anti-top pair.  In this talk I will discuss a model with massive spin-2 states which could explain the rise in the asymmetry with the invariant mass while being consistent with experimental constraints.
