Description

We present the calculation of the Wt single-top production channel to next-to-leading order in QCD, interfaced with parton showers within the MC-NLO formalism. This channel provides a complementary way of investigating the properties of the Wtb vertex, with respect to the s- and t-channels. We pay special attention to the separation of this process from top quark pair production.
