Single top quark physics at the Tevatron and the LHC
The top quark and its electroweak interaction are a key to understanding electroweak symmetry breaking. The production of single top quarks in particular is a sensitive probes for new physics. This electroweak process was observed for the first time at the Tevatron at Fermilab, utilizing advanced analysis techniques to extract the small signal out of a large background. Single top production is now being studied at the LHC at CERN in several different production modes, each sensitive to different models of new physics. I will present recent results from single top quark measurements and searches at the Tevatron and the LHC and prospects for future LHC analyses.
