abstract
The t W- mode of single top production is proposed as an important means to study the weak interactions of the top quark. While the rate of this mode is most likely too small to be observed at Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron, it is expected to be considerably larger at the CERN LHC. In this article the inclusive t W- rate is computed, including O(1 / log (m_t^2 / m_b^2)) corrections, and when combined with detailed Monte Carlo simulations including the top and W decay products, indicate that the t W- single top process may be extracted from the considerable t tbar and W+ W- j backgrounds at low luminosity runs of the LHC.
