Single top measurements at the LHC: s-channel and Wt production

Abstract : This paper summarises the latest experimental results on single top quark physics by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations using LHC proton–proton collisions at ps = 8 TeV. Searches for single top-quark production in the s-channel and associatedWt mode are presented and a determination of the CKM matrix element jVtbj is discussed. Evidence for s-channel production is reported by the ATLAS collaboration and theWt process has been observed at the LHC.
