A measurement of the top-antitop (tt ¯ ) charge asymmetry is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb ¯¹ of LHC pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector. Events with two charged leptons, at least two jets and large missing transverse momentum are selected. Two observables are studied: A ℓℓ C based on the identified charged leptons, and A tt ¯ C , based on the reconstructed tt ¯ final state. The asymmetries are measured to be
A ℓℓ C = 0.024±0.015 (stat.)±0.009 (syst.),
A tt ¯ C = 0.021±0.025 (stat.)±0.017 (syst.).
The measured values are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.
