Scientific paper

The latest measurements of the cross sections for singly-produced top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron are presented. The small expected signals and the large, uncertain backgrounds require careful event selection, sophisticated methods for separating signal events from background events, and data-based background predictions and fits. Both the CDF and D0 collaborations have solid evidence of single top production, using 2.7 fb-1 and 0.9 fb-1 of data, respectively. Both collaborations perform several analyses to measure the total single-top cross section sigma_s + sigma_t, as well as sigma_s and sigma_t separately.
