TL;DR
This paper reports recent measurements of top quark production, including cross sections and differential distributions, with new evidence for single top production with a W-boson, showing good agreement with advanced QCD calculations.
Contribution
It provides the first evidence for single top quark production in association with a W-boson and compares measurements with high-order QCD predictions.
Findings
Evidence for single top + W production
Good agreement with NNLO QCD calculations
Precise measurements of top quark cross sections
Abstract
Recent measurements of top quark pair and single top production are presented. The results include inclusive cross sections as well as studies of differential distributions. Evidence for single top quark production in association with a W-boson in the final state is reported for the first time. Calculations in perturbative QCD up to approximate next-to-next-to-leading order show very good agreement with the data.
