1  AAD 2022Z based on 139 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. Three components of ${{\mathit t}}$ or ${{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ polarization vector (defined in the ${{\mathit t}}$ or ${{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ rest frame) are measured in $\mathit t$-channel single top production using ${{\mathit \ell}}$ momentum distribution in the ${{\mathit \ell}}$ + $\not E_T$ + 2j (with 1 of them ${{\mathit b}}$-jet) channel. The measured values are in agreement with NNLO SM prediction. Constraints on the Wilson coefficients of SMEFT are obtained as -0.9 $<$ ${{\mathit C}_{{{tW}}}}$ $<$ 1.4 and -0.8 $<$ ${{\mathit C}_{{{itW}}}}$ $<$ 0.2.
2  SIRUNYAN 2020R based on 36.1 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. Differential cross sections for $\mathit t$-channel single top production are measured using 1${{\mathit \ell}}$ + 2,3-jet mode and found to be in good agreement with SM predictions. The value is the top spin asymmetry, given by 1/2 of the spin analyzing power ${{\mathit \alpha}_{{{{{\mathit \ell}}}}}}$ (=1 at LO of SM) times the top polarization $\mathit P$, where the spin axis is defined as the direction of the spectator quark in the top rest frame at the parton level. It is in good agreement with the NLO SM prediction of 0.436.
