Abstract

Single top quark production via four-fermion contact interactions associated to flavour-changing neutral currents was searched for in data taken by the DELPHI detector at LEP2. The data were accumulated at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 189 to 209 GeV, with an integrated luminosity of 598.1 pb^(-1).

No evidence for a signal was found. Limits on the energy scale LAMBDA, were set for scalar-, vector- and tensor-like coupling scenarios.
