Willenbrock, Scott S. Sullivan, Zack Edward 2015-09-25T20:03:28Z 2015-09-25T20:03:28Z 10000-01-01 1998 1998 Using the next-to-leading-order results for the W-gluon fusion cross section, we analyze the possibilities for studying single-top-quark production at the Tevatron and LHC. We find that there may be evidence for single-top-quark production in Run I data. Run II at the Tevatron should allow the W-gluon fusion cross section to be measured to $\pm$22% with 2 fb$\sp{-1}$ of data. The LHC will have a statistical resolution of $\pm$2% with the first 1 fb$\sp{-1}$ of data. The implications of these results for measuring V$\sb{tb}$ and top-quark spin polarization are discussed.
