We report the first observation of single top quark production using 3.2 fb^-1 of pbar p collision data with sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The significance of the observed data is 5.0 standard deviations, and the expected sensitivity for standard model production and decay is in excess of 5.9 standard deviations. Assuming m_t=175 GeV/c^2, we measure a cross section of 2.3 +0.6 -0.5 (stat+syst) pb, extract the CKM matrix element value |V_{tb}|=0.91 +-0.11 (stat+syst) 0.07(theory), and set the limit |V_{tb}|>0.71 at the 95% C.L.

    First separate differential tq and tbarq t-channel single-top cross-sections at 13 TeV, using the full ATLAS Run 2 sample, agree with NLO/NNLO QCD and set −0.12 < C_Qq^{3,1}/Λ² < 0.12 TeV⁻² at 95% CL.

    A hybrid GNN with a six-qubit circuit and a jet-multiplicity loss is claimed to improve classification of fully hadronic ttttW events over BDT and XGBoost in Monte Carlo, but the reported significance is inconsistent ...
