Soft-gluon corrections for single top quark production in association with electroweak bosons

Abstract

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