Description
Measurements of the single top quark production cross sections in
proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the Large Hadron
Collider are presented. Measurements of single top-quark production
in the t- and Wt-channels are shown and determination of the CKM
matrix element |Vtb| is discussed. We also discuss the separate
measurement of the top and anti-top quark and the ratio. These
measurements are sensitive to the parton distribution function
in the proton. In addition, the s-channel production is explored
and limits on exotic production in single top quark processes are
discussed. This also includes the search for flavour changing neutral
currents and the search for additional W-F¢ bosons in the s-channel.-A
