QCD and Yukawa corrections to single-top-quark production viaqq¯tb¯

Abstract
We calculate the O(αs) and O(αWmt2MW2) corrections to the production of a single top quark via the weak process qq¯tb¯ at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider. An accurate calculation of the cross section is necessary in order to extract |Vtb| from experiment.
