Single Top Production

Abstract

Even though it has been ten years since the top quark discovery, still only very little is known experimentally about this elusive particle. Understanding in particular the electroweak interaction of the top quark is important because of the connection to electroweak symmetry breaking. At hadron colliders, this interaction produces the unique final state signature of only a single top quark. I will present the current status of searches for electroweak production of single top quarks.
