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.

 Normalizations (divide by 9 for W BR, divide by 2 for t vs. tx):  
  tbj:  1.98/9/2 = 0.11pb  Madgraph cross-section: 0.044pb  Normalization: 2.46
  tb:   0.88/9/2 = 0.0488pb  Madgraph cross-section: 0.0366  Normalization: 1.33
  ttx:  
  tbj_1diag:  0.11pb Madgraph cross-section (4samples) 0.0798  Normalization: 1.37


  Outstanding questions:
 1.  What renormalization/factorization scales to use for tbj?
 2.  What diagrams to include/exclude for tbj?
 3.  Cone size for PGS?
 4.  Jet eta plot for wjj.... why the abrupt change at eta==2.0?


 *All values are for 2 TeV Tevatron and from hep-ph/9807340 unless otherwise noted.
 **hep-ph/9604223
 ***hep-ph/9705398 - Both the LO and NLO tbj CS's are the most likely to be out-of-date.  tbj used  to be 2.44pb, but there was a problem in the PDFs.  After that was corrected, the CS was 2.12pb, but  that was for the 2 TeV Tevatron.  Now we're at 1.98 pb.
