Description
We present calculations of QCD corrections for the associated production of a single top quark and a photon ($tq\gamma$) in proton-proton collisions. We calculate the NLO cross section as well as the approximate NNLO (aNNLO) cross section with soft-gluon corrections, including theoretical uncertainties, at collider energies of up to 100 TeV. We show results with various choices of parton distributions and kinematical cuts, and we also calculate top-quark and photon differential distributions. The theoretical prediction is in excellent agreement with a 13 TeV measurement at the LHC.
