Description

After many years searching for electroweak production of top quarks, the Tevatron collider experiments have now moved from obtaining first evidence for single top quark production to an impressive array of measurements that test the standard model in several directions. The talk will present single top results from both CDF and D0, including measurements of the single top quark cross sections, limits on the CKM matrix element Vtb, and searches for evidence of anomalous single top production mechanisms.
