Sumario:The measurement of singe top production opens up a wide field for tests of the Standard Model and searches for phenomena beyond. In contrast to the top-pair production, top quarks are produced in electro-weak interactions. Furthermore, many benchmark processes for searches as e.g. object identification can be done. Making use of a luminosity from $0.7~mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ up to $2.05~mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ the ATLAS experimet observed all production channel predicted by the standard model. Based on the Standard Model analysis, a search for Flavour Changing Neutral Currents was performed giving a new upper limit on the branching ratios.
