Abstract

We search for Standrod Model single-top-quark production in the W -gluon fusion and W* channels using 106 pb^-1 of data from collisions at collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We set an upper limit at 95% C.L. on the combined W_g + W* single-top cross section of 13.5 pb, roughly five-and-a-half times larger larer than the standard model prediction. Separate 95% C.L. upper limits in the W_g-fusion and W* channels ae also determined and are found to be 13.5 and 12.9 pb respectively.
