Contribution

It provides comprehensive measurements of single top production modes at different energies, including inclusive and differential cross sections, and searches for rare processes.

Findings

Measurements agree with Standard Model predictions

No evidence of new physics observed

Detailed cross section results at 7, 8, and 13 TeV

Abstract

The CMS experiment has measured the electroweak production of top quark in different singly production modes: t-, tW- and s-channel. Recent results on inclusive and differential cross section measurements of t-channel at 13 TeV and of the fiducial cross section at 8 TeV are shown. The search for single top quark production in s-channel at 7 and 8 TeV as well as the search for associated production of Z boson and single top are presented. All measurements are in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and no sign of new physics is observed.
