Description

We present results for higher order soft-gluon radiative corrections for single top quark production in association with electroweak bosons, including t gamma and t Z production via anomalous FCNC couplings. We provide results for the total cross sections and differential distributions at LHC energies and beyond. We use K-factors to show the significance of the corrections compared to leading order and discuss uncertainties and the importance of the results.
