Evidence for Single Top Production at the Tevatron

Conference ·
OSTI ID:934566
We present first evidence for the production of single top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron p{bar p} collider. Both D0 and CDF experiments have measured the single top production cross section with a 3-standard-deviation significance using 0.9 fb{sup -1} and 2.2 fb{sup -1} of lepton+jets data, respectively. A direct measurement of the CKM matrix element that describes the Wtb coupling is also performed for the first time.
