Higher-order Threshold Corrections for Single Top Quark Production
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss single top quark production at the Tevatron and the LHC. The cross section, including soft-gluon threshold corrections through NNNLO, is presented for each partonic channel. The higher-order corrections provide significant contributions to the single top cross sections at both colliders.

Higher-order Corrections to Top-antitop Pair and Single Top Quark Production
The top quark plays an important role in the Standard Model of particle physics as the most massive elementary particle, relevant to electroweak physics. The top was discovered via pair production [1, 2] and has also been more recently produced via single top [3, 4] channels at the Tevatron. On the theoretical side, QCD corrections are significant for top quark production and even higherorder c...
متن کاملSingle top quark production at the Tevatron: threshold resummation and finite-order soft gluon corrections
I present a calculation of threshold soft-gluon corrections to single top quark production in pp̄ collisions via all partonic processes in the t and s channels and via associated top quark and W boson production. The soft-gluon corrections are formally resummed to all orders, and finite-order expansions of the resummed cross section are calculated through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N...

متن کاملTop-quark Production and QCD
We review theoretical calculations for top-quark production that include complete next-to-leading-order QCD corrections as well as higher-order soft-gluon corrections from threshold resummation. We discuss in detail the differences between various approaches that have appeared in the literature and review results for top-quark total cross sections and differential distributions at the Tevatron ...
متن کاملHeavy-Flavor Production at Accelerators
I discuss heavy flavor production at hadronic facilities. I present total cross sections and differential distributions for top quark, bottom quark, and charm quark production at the Tevatron and LHC colliders, and at fixed-target experiments such as HERA-B. The calculations include complete next-to-leading order corrections as well as higher-order soft-gluon corrections which are important nea...
