Single Top Production at Hadron Colliders

Chris Curtis (Birmingham)


Abstract

Electroweak top quark production was observed at the Tevatron in Spring 2009. This production channel is expected to give an important insight into both the Standard Model and theoretical extensions. This seminar looks at how it was discovered and how it might be observed at the LHC.
