Development of the detector control system for the ATLAS Level-1 trigger and measurement of the single top production cross section
… the discovery potential for electroweak single top production during early running. Using Monte Carlo data some of the major systematics are discussed. A potential upper limit on the production cross section is calculated to be 45.2 pb. If the Standard Model prediction is assumed, a …

A next-to-leading-order calculation of proton-proton(proton-antiproton) to two jets, at least one of which contains a charm quark
… next-to-leading-order (NLO) calculation for the production of two jets, at least one of which contains a charm quark, which is an important background to single-top production. I discuss the leading order results and their scale dependence before outlining the difficulties of an NLO calculation, …

Measurement of the single top quark cross section in the lepton plus jets final state in proton-antiproton collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV using the CDF II detector.
We present a measurement of the single top quark cross section in the lepton plus jets final state using an integrated luminosity corresponding to 7.5/fb of collision data collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The single top candidate events are identified by the signature of a charged …

Effective field theory for top quark physics
The top quark plays an important role in the search for physics beyond the standard model because of its large mass. In the situation where new physics exist at an energy scale higher than the scale we can probe directly, it is desirable to have a model-independent approach, which we can use to …

Precision Frontiers in Proton Structure and their Interplay with the Search for New Physics
… (i) scale uncertainties and (ii) data from single top production in PDFs for the first time. While, on the topic of improving our ability to characterise new physics, we will present work that assesses the importance of accounting for new physics effects in PDF determinations when …
