LHC cross section is 30nb: after selection acceptance, reconstruction and identification expect 60M Ws per low luminosity year => precision on mW is systematics limited…
where is the azimuthal angle between the l and the recoil X

• there are large bkgnds (eg. tt [830 pb], Wbb [>300 pb]) with similar final states
• ability to extract signal depends critically on detector performance, including
• look at lepton, jet, bjet multiplicities, as well as kinematic distributions, to separate single top processes from ttbar, Wjj, Wbb, as well as from each other

Each process is sensitive to possible new physics in different ways
Some examples:heavy W’ enhancement in s-channel W* FCNC gu t enhancement in “Wg fusion”
It is important to measure each process separately
Also want to measure W, top helicitiesEg. sensitivity to V+A, anomalous couplings

Test some models beyond SM : New type of interactions (resonant Higgs, extra-dimensions, …) Modifications of SM couplings :
anomalous gtt couplings anomalous Wtb coupling
One of the most urgent problems in HEP to identify the mechanism of EWSB and mass generation,
in which the top quark may play a special role.
The LHC has a large potential for discovery of New Physics effects: e.g. heavy tt resonances, FCNC decays, etc…
