Abstract

We discuss the physics of single-top quark production and decay at hadron colliders, such as the Tevatron, the ~and the LHC. Our study includes how to measure the mass and the width of the top quark produced from a single-t or a single- t process. We also show how to probe new physics by studying the couplings of t-b-W and show what can be improved from measuring the production rate of single-top events. We also discuss how to probe CP properties of the top quark by measuring the single-top production rate. Finally, we present a Monte Carlo study on the detection of single-top events in hadron collisions.
