Abstract

In March 2009, the DØ Collaboration first observed the electroweak production of single top quarks at 5σ significance. We measured the cross section for the combined s-channel and t-channel production modes, and set a lower limit on the CKM matrix element |Vtb|. Since then, we have used the same dataset to measure the t-channel production mode independently, the combined cross section in the hadronically decaying tau lepton final state, and the width and lifetime of the top quark, and we have set upper limits on contributions from anomalous flavor-changing neutral currents. This paper describes these new measurements, as presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Top Quark Physics, held in Bruges, Belgium, May 31–June 4, 2010.
