چکیده
We report observation of the electroweak production of single top quarks in pp[over ] collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV based on 2.3 fb(-1) of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Using events containing an isolated electron or muon and missing transverse energy, together with jets originating from the fragmentation of b quarks, we measure a cross section of sigma(pp[over ]--> tb + X, tqb + X) = 3.94 + or - 0.88 pb. The probability to measure a cross section at this value or higher in the absence of signal is 2.5 x 10(-7), corresponding to a 5.0 standard deviation significance for the observation.

Spin Effects in Processes of Single Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders
We investigate spin properties of single top quark production at hadron colliders. Based on an analogy with single top production and polarized top quark decay, we reproduce in a simple way the results by G. Mahlon and S. Parke on the existence of preferred axes for the decomposition of the top quark spin. For the W ∗and W-g-fusion production modes these axes are related to the down-type quark ...
متن کاملTop physics prospects at LHC
With a high instantaneous luminosity and the large top quark pair production cross section, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be a “top factory” allowing the analysis of millions of top events. After a short description of the top quark pair production mechanism and the cross section measurement, the accuracy of the top mass measurement needed for a sound consistency check of the Standard Mo...
متن کاملSingle-Top-Quark Production via W -Gluon Fusion at Next-to-Leading Order
Single-top-quark production via W -gluon fusion at hadron colliders provides an opportunity to directly probe the charged-current interaction of the top quark. We calculate the next-to-leading-order corrections to this process at the Fermilab Tevatron, the CERN Large Hadron Collider, and DESY HERA. Using a b-quark distribution function to sum collinear logarithms, we show that there are two ind...
متن کاملTop quark associated production of topcolor pions at hadron colliders
We investigate the associated production of a neutral physical pion with top quarks in the context of topcolor assisted technicolor. We find that single-top associated production does not yield viable rates at either the Tevatron or LHC. tt̄-associated production at the Tevatron is suppressed relative to Standard Model tt̄H, but at the LHC is strongly enhanced and would allow for easy observation...
متن کاملSingle top production at HERA in the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension
The H1 Collaboration at the DESY electron-proton collider HERA has observed, in photoproduction and neutral-current deep-inelastic scattering, an unexpected excess of events with isolated leptons and missing transverse momentum, especially at large values of hadronic transverse momentum—a signature typical for single top-quark production. This observation is being substantiated in the HERA II r...
