We perform two analyses, one search for the combined signal of the t- and s-channel production modes and another search which is sensitive to the separate channels. We do not find evidence for a single top signal, but we set upper limits on the single top cross-section. Our results are given below:
Combined t- and s-Channel Search t-Channel Search s-Channel Search
sigma (t + s-Channel) < 17.8 pb @ 95% C.L. sigma (t-Channel) < 10.1 pb @ 95% C.L. sigma (s-Channel) < 13.6 pb @ 95% C.L.
Description of our analysis. (ps)
Our single top results were approved (blessed) by CDF on Thursday 08/05/2004.
