Measurements of single top quark cross sections at 13 TeV with the CMS experiment

An overview of recent measurements of inclusive and differential single top quark cross sections at 13 TeV with the CMS experiment is given in this note. This includes measurements targeting the $t$-channel and tW production modes resulting in inclusive cross sections of $\sigma_{t\mathrm{\mbox{-}ch.}}=238\pm32~\mathrm{pb}$ and $\sigma_\mathrm{tW}=63.1\pm6.6~\mathrm{pb}$ respectively. In addition, the $t$-channel cross section has been measured differentially as a function of the top quark transverse momentum and rapidity. The results are found in agreement with the standard model expectations. Furthermore, a search for single top quark production in association with a Z boson is detailed which yields an observed (expected) significance of 3.7 (3.1) standard deviations.
