Description
Measurements of the single top quark production cross sections in proton proton
collisions with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider are presented.
Measurements of single topquark
production in the tand
Wtchannels
are shown and
determination of the CKM matrix element |Vtb| is discussed. We also discuss the separate
measurement of the top and antitop
quark cross section and the ratio. These measurements
are sensitive to the parton distribution function in the proton.
In addition, the schannel
production is explored and the results of a search for flavor changing
neutral currents in the single top production is presented.
