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 [?] = 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.
