In the proton–antiproton collisions at Fermilab, individual top quarks are expected to be produced by an electroweak mechanism referred to as single-top-quark production. In this paper we review the CDF results of the search for single-top-quarks, along with the prospects for the current collider run.

We present a review of searches for electroweak production of single top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron proton–antiproton collider at [Formula: see text]. Searches for s-channel and t-channel single top quark production have been carried out using secondary-vertex b-quark tagging and advanced event analysis methods in order to maximize the sensitivity to single top quark production. So far, no evidence for a single top quark signal has been found. However, 95% confidence level upper limits on the production cross-section have been set that improve upon previous limits by factors of two to three and are approaching the cross-section region predicted by the standard model.

The single top quark production has an electroweak nature and provides an additional support to the top pair production source of the top quarks. The processes involving single top have unique properties and are very interesting from both theoretical and experimental viewpoints. Short review of the single top quark production processes is given in the paper.
