We present a fully differential next-to-next-to-leading-order calculation of -channel single top quark production and decay at the LHC under a narrow-width approximation and neglecting cross talk between incoming protons. We investigate the fiducial cross sections at 13 TeV, finding that the next-to-next-toleading- order QCD corrections can reach the level of -6%. The scale variations are reduced to the level of a percent. Our results can be utilized to improve experimental acceptance estimates and the measurements of the single top quark production cross section and the top quark electroweak couplings.
