I review the state-of-the-art of the theoretical predictions and the MC tools for single-top production (s-channel, t-channel and Wt) at the Tevatron and the LHC. Special attention will be devoted to the recent progress in the description of t-channel production of top and fourth generation quarks.

At the LHC single top-quarks will be produced at a high rate corresponding to a third of the top-quark pair-production. In addition to the direct access to the CKM matrix element Vtb, single top-quark production is also sensitive to the existence of new heavy gauge bosons, forth generation quarks and various other new physics phenomena. Methods developed to optimize the selection of single...

An overview of the activities of the CMS single top group is given with emphasis on the t-channel modeling and an early single top analysis. The selection and analysis strategies of such an analysis are summarized and the prospects are presented assuming an integrated luminosity of 200/pb at a centre-of-mass energy of 10TeV.
