The cross-sections for the production of single charged and neutral intermediate vector bosons were measured using integrated luminosities of 52 pb^{-1} and 154 pb^{-1} collected by the DELPHI experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 182.6 GeV and 188.6 GeV, respectively. The cross-sections for the reactions were determined in limited kinematic regions. The results found are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions for these channels.
Cross sections for single-W production in the (E- NUEBAR Q QBAR + CC) and (E- NUEBAR LEPTON LEPTONBAR) + CC) channels.
Cross sections for the E NU E NU channel, which includes contributions from both single-W and from single-Z0 with a large interference bewteen the two processes.
Cross sections for single-Z0 production in the hadronic channel.
An analysis of the data collected in 1997 and 1998 with the DELPHI detector at e+e- collision energies close to 183 and 189 GeV was performed in order to extract the hadronic and leptonic fermion-pair cross-sections, as well as the leptonic forward-backward asymmetries and angular distributions. The data are used to put limit on contact interactions between fermions, the exchange of R-parity violating SUSY sneutrinos, Z' bosons and the existence of gravity in extra dimensions.

The branching ratio for the leptonic decay of charged B mesons ( B − →τ − ν ̄ τ ) has been measured using selected leptonic τ − →ℓ − ν τ ν ̄ ℓ and hadronic τ − → ν τ X decays in Z → b b ̄ decays recorded by DELPHI at LEP1 in 1992–1995. The result, BR ( B − →τ − ν ̄ τ )<1.1×10 −3 at the 90% confidence level, is consistent with standard model expectations and puts a constraint on the ratio tan β / M H ± <0.46 (GeV/ c 2 ) −1 in the framework of models with two Higgs doublets (type II Higgs doublet model). From the missing energy distribution in Z → b b ̄ decays without identified leptons, the b →τ ν ̄ τ X branching ratio has been measured in the hadronic channel τ → ν τ X′. The result, BR ( b →τ ν ̄ τ X )=(2.19±0.24 ( stat )±0.39 ( syst ))% , is consistent with the Standard Model prediction and with previous experimental measurements.
TAN(BETA) is the two-Higgs-doublet model parameter, while M_H is the mass of charged Higgs.
