Findings

LHC is the most promising collider for unparticle detection.

Cross sections depend on unparticle scale dimension $d_{\U}$.

Single top production rates can reveal unparticle effects.

Abstract

We study the single production of top quarks in $e^+e^-, ep$ and $pp$ collisions in the context of unparticle physics through the Flavor Violating (FV) unparticle vertices and compute the total cross sections for single top production as functions of scale dimension $d_{\U}$. We find that among all, LHC is the most promising facility to probe the unparticle physics via single top quark production processes.
