Search For Single Top Production at the Tevatron
Abstract
We present an expected cross-section limit for single top production in the lepton + jets channel. This result uses 158 pb-1 of Run II data taken by the Dptyset detector. This talk will focus on our background measurement methods and the b-quark jet tagging algorithms used in the analysis. Single top production is interesting because it's cross-section is proportional to |V_tb|^2 making an observation important to testing the unitarity of the CKM matrix.
