SM single-top production at hadron colliders

Abstract

We give an overview of the status of theoretical predictions for single-top production in the Standard Model. We focus in particular on recent developments, including calculations of off-shell effects at next-to-leading order beyond the narrow-width approximation, all-order resummation of soft corrections and matching of next-to-leading order parton-level results to Monte Carlo parton showers.
