We explore scenarios where top quarks may be produced singly in association with missing energy, a very distinctive signature, which in analogy with monojets, we dub monotops. We find that monotops can be produced in a variety of modes,…
Within the framework of a simple model, we study single-spin asymmetries for pion production in hadron-hadron collisions at high-energies with one hadron polarised. The asymmetries are generated via a mechanism of final (initial) state…
The field of experimental particle physics has become more sophisticated over time, as fewer, larger experimental collaborations search for small signals in samples with large components of background. The search for and the observation of…
Electroweak production of top quarks, the so-called single top production, is interesting both in the context of measurements of the Standard Model of Particle Physics as well as searches for new phenomena beyond that. Analyses based on…
Single-top-quark production probes the charged-current weak interaction of the top quark, and provides a direct measurement of the CKM matrix element V_{tb}. We perform two independent analyses to quantify the accuracy with which the…

Single top-quark production, via weak-interaction processes, is an important test of the standard model, potentially sensitive to new physics. However, it is becoming known that this measurement is much more challenging at the Tevatron than…
