Description
We present a study of the production of a single top quark in association with a
heavy extra Z′ at hadron colliders in new physics models with and without flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) couplings. We use QCD soft-gluon resummation and threshold expansions to calculate higher-order corrections for the total cross section and transverse-momentum distributions for tZ′ production. The impact of uncertainties due to the structure of the proton and scale dependence is also discussed.
