The Run-1 of the LHC was very successful for single top physics. The main single top production mode, $t-$channel, is now well established. The $t-$channel cross-section was measured with unprecedented precision and $t-$channel events have…

Top quark production in association with a photon offers a unique test ground for the standard model predictions, as it is sensitive to the top-photon coupling. These processes are rare when compared to standard top pair production, however…
