Abstract
This paper is an experimental review of the study of processes with a single top quark at the LHC. The pioneering times are over, and this is now a sector of “precision physics” at colliders. Angular distributions of the decay products of singly-produced top quarks are unique tests of the electroweak interaction. Searches for rare final states of the form (where ) are very sensitive to new physics, and will enter with Run II in a very interesting zone of the parameter space of some theories. The relative sign of the Yukawa coupling of the top quark with respect to the Higgs coupling to gauge bosons will be conclusively measured very soon in the tHq final state.
期刊介绍：
Reviews in Physics is a gold open access Journal, publishing review papers on topics in all areas of (applied) physics. The journal provides a platform for researchers who wish to summarize a field of physics research and share this work as widely as possible. The published papers provide an overview of the main developments on a particular topic, with an emphasis on recent developments, and sketch an outlook on future developments. The journal focuses on short review papers (max 15 pages) and these are freely available after publication. All submitted manuscripts are fully peer-reviewed and after acceptance a publication fee is charged to cover all editorial, production, and archiving costs.
