Description
We present a study of single top and single antitop quark production in the t-channel mode at the LHC pp collider at 7 TeV, 10 TeV and 14 TeV, including next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production and decay of the top quark. We discuss the effects of different O(αs) contributions on the inclusive cross section and important kinematic distributions, after imposing the relevant cuts to select t-channel single top quark events.
