Abstract
The first search for single-top-quark production from the exchange of an -channel virtual boson using events with an imbalance in the total transverse energy, -tagged jets, and no identified leptons is presented. Assuming the electroweak production of top quarks of mass in the channel, a cross section of () pb with a significance of 1.9 standard deviations is measured. This measurement is combined with the result obtained from events with an imbalance in total transverse momentum, -tagged jets, and exactly one identified lepton, yielding a cross section of () pb, with a significance of 4.2 standard deviations.
