Description

I present high-order calculations for single-top production in the Standard Model and in models with anomalous top-quark couplings. Theoretical results are presented for total cross sections and top-quark transverse momentum and rapidity distributions for the $t$ and $s$ single-top channels as well as for the associated production of a top quark with a $W$-boson in the Standard Model. Corrections from soft-gluon emission though NNNLO are included. I also show results for the associated production of a top quark with a $Z$ boson in processes involving anomalous top-quark couplings.
