Abstract

I present approximate next-to-next-to-leading-order (aNNLO) transverse-momentum (pT) distributions in single-top production processes. The aNNLO results are derived from next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) resummation of soft-gluon corrections in the differential cross section. Single-top as well as single-antitop pT distributions are shown in t-channel, s-channel, and tW production for LHC energies.
