We report observation of the electroweak production of single top quarks in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV based on 2.3 fb^-1 of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Using events containing an isolated electron or muon and missing transverse energy, together with jets originating from the fragmentation of b quarks, we measure a cross section of sigma(ppbar -> tb + X, tqb + X) = 3.94 +- 0.88 pb. The probability to measure a cross section at this value or higher in the absence of signal is 2.5 x 10^-7, corresponding to a 5.0 standard deviation significance for the observation.

    First separate differential tq and tbarq t-channel single-top cross-sections at 13 TeV, using the full ATLAS Run 2 sample, agree with NLO/NNLO QCD and set −0.12 < C_Qq^{3,1}/Λ² < 0.12 TeV⁻² at 95% CL.

    A hybrid GNN with a six-qubit circuit and a jet-multiplicity loss is claimed to improve classification of fully hadronic ttttW events over BDT and XGBoost in Monte Carlo, but the reported significance is inconsistent ...
