Discovery of Single Top Quark Production

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2019-08-14 v2

Abstract

The first observation of electroweak single top quark production was recently reported by the the D0 and CDF collaborations based on 2.3 and 3.2 fb-1 of ppbar collision data collected at \sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV from the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Several multivariate techniques are used to separate the single top signal from backgrounds, and both collaborations present measurements of the single top cross section and the CKM matrix element |Vtb|.
