Observation of the s-channel and other studies of single top quarks at the Tevatron

TL;DR

This paper reports the first observation of single-top-quark production in the s channel, combining measurements from CDF and D0 at the Tevatron, and summarizes other recent single-top-quark results.

Contribution

It presents the first observation of the s-channel single-top-quark production and combines data from two experiments at the Tevatron.

Findings

First observation of s-channel single-top-quark production

Combined measurements from CDF and D0 at 1.96 TeV

Summary of recent single-top-quark results

Abstract

First observation of single-top-quark production in the s channel is reported. The result is based on the combination of the CDF and D0 measurements of the cross section in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. A summary of other recent single-top-quark results are also included.
