Measuring single top is an important test of the Standard Model, as its production cross section is directly proportional to Vtb DEGREES2, where Vtb represents the coupling between the top and the bottom quarks. In addition, it impacts the future searches for the Higgs boson, and has the potential to validate a number of phenomena outside of the Standard Model.We have developed a Neural Networks (NN) technique to identify single top events. Considering the single top signal to background ratio of less than 10%, the NN approach is more suitable than a cut based analysis as it allows combining...
