Abstract
We discuss the degree of spin polarization of single top quarks produced via fusion process in collision at TESLA+HERAp and CLIC+LHC energies and 5.3 TeV. For subprocess we show that the top quark spin is completely polarized when the spin basis is chosen in the direction of the incoming positron beam in the rest frame of top quark. A description on how to combine the cross sections of and processes is given. -beam direction is taken to be the favorite top quark spin decomposition axis in its rest frame and it is found to be comparable with the ones in collision. It is argued that theoretical simplicity and experimental clearness are the advantage of collision.
