## Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to combine t-channel single top production with an additional jet at NLO accuracy without using a merging scale.

## Key findings

- Enhanced prediction accuracy for single top-quark production
- Elimination of merging scale in theoretical calculations
- Improved modeling of t-channel processes at NLO

## Abstract

Single top-quark production through the exchange of a t-channel W-boson is the main electroweak production mode for top quarks at the Large Hadron Collider. I discuss a recent development in the theoretical predictions for this process, in which t-channel single-top with an additional jet is combined, at NLO accuracy, with t-channel single top production, without the introduction of a merging scale.
