The single top-quark final state provides sensitivity to new heavy resonances produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Particularly, the single top plus quark final state appears in models with heavy charged bosons or scalars, or in models with flavor-changing neutral currents involving the top quark. The cross sections and final-state kinematics distinguish such models from each other and from standard model backgrounds. Several models of resonances decaying to a single top-quark final state are presented and their phenomenology is discussed.

Abstract
The single top-quark final state provides sensitivity to new heavy resonances produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Particularly, the single top plus quark final state appears in models with heavy charged bosons or scalars, or in models with flavor-changing neutral currents involving the top quark. The cross sections and final-state kinematics distinguish such models from each other and from standard model backgrounds. Several models of resonances decaying to a single top-quark final state are presented and their phenomenology is discussed.File in questo prodotto:
