Model-independent extraction of $|V_{tq}|$ matrix elements from top-quark measurements at hadron colliders

H. Lacker, A. Menzel, F. Spettel +5

Current methods to extract the quark-mixing matrix element $|V_{tb}|$ from single-top production measurements assume that $|V_{tb}|\gg |V_{td}|,|V_{ts}|$: top quarks decay into $b…
