Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the first observation of the inclusive single top-quark production in the s- and t-channels by CDF and D0, both Tevatron collaborations combined their measurements using the distributions of their multivariate discriminants. A Bayesian analysis is used to extract the cross section at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV from 3.2 fb−1 (CDF) and 2.3 fb−1 (D0) of data, respectively. For a top quark mass of 170 GeV/c2, a cross section of 2.76 + 0.58 - 0.47 pb is extracted while the CKM matrix element.
