Abstract

Description

Recently, the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron has used complementary methods to make multiple measurements of the singly produced top quark cross section. All analyses use the same dataset with more than 2 fb^-1 of CDF data and event selection based on W+2 or W+3 jet events with at least one b-tagged jet. However, due to differences in analysis techniques these results are not fully correlated and a combination provides improved experimental precision. Two independent methods are used to combine the results. This combination results in an improved measurement of the single top production cross section and also the CKM matrix element V_tb.
