@article{10902/13856, year = {2014}, month = {6}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/13856}, abstract = {The first search for single-top-quark production from the exchange of an s-channel virtual W boson using events with an imbalance in the total transverse energy, b-tagged jets, and no identified leptons is presented. Assuming the electroweak production of top quarks of mass 172.5??GeV/c2 in the s channel, a cross section of 1.12+0.61-0.57 (stat+syst) pb with a significance of 1.9 standard deviations is measured. This measurement is combined with the result obtained from events with an imbalance in total transverse momentum, b-tagged jets, and exactly one identified lepton, yielding a cross section of 1.36+0.37-0.32 (stat+syst) pb, with a significance of 4.2 standard deviations.}, organization = {We thank the Fermilab staff and the technical staffs of the participating institutions for their vital contributions.
