Contribution
It provides the first measurements of single top quark production cross sections at these energies with CMS data.
Findings
Measured t-channel and W-associated production cross sections.
Placed constraints on the CKM matrix element |V_tb|.
Confirmed consistency with Standard Model predictions.
Abstract
Measurements of single top quark production are presented, performed using CMS data collected in 2011 and 2012 at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The cross sections for the electroweak production of single top quarks in the t-channel and in association with W-bosons is measured and the results are used to place constraints on the CKM matrix element |V_tb|.
