Abstract A measurement of the cross section of the associated production of a single top quark and a W boson in final states with a muon or electron and jets in proton-proton collisions at $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 13 TeV is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb−1 collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016. A boosted decision tree is used to separate the tW signal from the dominant t$$ \overline{\mathrm{t}} $$ t ¯ background, whilst the subleading W+jets and multijet backgrounds are constrained using data-based estimates. This result is the first observation of the tW process in final states containing a muon or electron and jets, with a significance exceeding 5 standard deviations. The cross section is determined to be 89 ± 4 (stat) ± 12 (syst) pb, consistent with the standard model.

We consider the production of a single top quark in association with a W boson at LHeC based γp collider. We compute the cross-section for the process γp→WtX with the anomalous Wtb and Wtbγ couplings. We find that the sensitivities to anomalous couplings of top quark are shown to be comparable, even better than the ones obtained from direct searches at hadron colliders.

The left–right twin Higgs (LRTH) model predicts the existence of the charged Higgs ϕ±. In this paper, we study the production of the charged Higgs boson ϕ- with single top quark via the process bg → tϕ- at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The numerical results show that the production cross-section can reach the level of 10 pb in the reasonable parameter space of the LRTH model. We expect that, as long as it is not too heavy, the possible signatures of the heavy charged Higgs boson ϕ-> might be detected via the decay mode [Formula: see text] at the LHC experiments.

The light pseudoscalar boson η is the typical particle predicted by the Simplest Little Higgs (SLH) model. In this paper, we investigate some processes of the associated production of a light pseudoscalar boson η with a pair of top quarks in the SLH model at the International Linear Collider (ILC), i.e. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We find that the cross-sections of these two processes could reach [Formula: see text] fb in the favorite parameter space in the SLH model, which is consistent with the results of the cross-section of [Formula: see text] in the standard model and the cross-section of [Formula: see text] in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. It should be clear that hundreds to thousands of η can be produced at the ILC per year, these processes of [Formula: see text] are really interesting in testing the standard model and searching the signs of the SLH model.
