Important details of Single-top analysis:
|
IMPORTANT: The
cross-section values listed in the table are largely still for the 2 TeV
Tevatron. The tbj and tb NLO's are
for the 1.96 TeV Tevatron and are taken from Zack Sullivan's talk, though I
used
the top mass for renormalization and factorization scales (not what he used). The ttx
NLO CS needs to be updated for 1.96.
