@article{10902/10892, year = {2015}, month = {10}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/10892}, abstract = {We present the final combination of CDF and D0 measurements of cross sections for single-top-quark production in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data correspond to total integrated luminosities of up to 9.7??fb-1 per experiment. The t-channel cross section is measured to be st=2.25+0.29-0.31??pb. We also present the combinations of the two-dimensional measurements of the s- vs t-channel cross section. In addition, we give the combination of the s+t channel cross section measurement resulting in ss+t=3.30+0.52-0.40??pb, without assuming the standard model value for the ratio ss/st. The resulting value of the magnitude of the top-to-bottom quark coupling is |Vtb|=1.02+0.06-0.05, corresponding to |Vtb|>0.92 at the 95% C.L.}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, publisher = {Phys.
