Measurement of the t-Channel Single Top Quark Production Cross Section in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)Physical Review LettersElectroweak production of the top quark is measured for the first time in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV, using a data set collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. With an event selection optimized for t-channel production, two complementary analyses are performed. The first one exploits the special angular properties of the signal, together with background estimates from the data. ...Journal Article
