Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of experimental results on single top-quark production via various channels at different LHC energies, confirming the accuracy of theoretical models.

Findings

Cross-section measurements agree with fixed-order calculations.

Signal significance confirms observation of production modes.

Results span multiple collision energies (7, 8, 13 TeV).

Abstract

Analyses of single top-quark production via $tW$ production, via $tZq$ production, and in the $s$-channel are presented, showing the scope of recent ATLAS and CMS analyses of $pp$ collisions produced at the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=7,8$, and ${13}\,\text{TeV}$. Cross-section values and signal significance estimates are established, confirming good agreement with the most precise available fixed-order calculations for each production mode.
