A search is performed for production of short-lived particles in e⁺e^- → XY, with X → γγ and Y → ff̄, for scalar X and scalar or vector Y. Model-independent limits in the range of 25-60 femtobarns are presented on (e⁺e^- → XY) × B(X → γγ) × B(Y → ff̄) for centre-of-mass energies in the range 205-207 GeV. The data from all LEP centre-of-mass energies 88-209 GeV are also interpreted in the context of fermiophobic Higgs boson models, for which a lower mass limit of 105.5 GeV is obtained for a "benchmark" fermiophobic Higgs boson.

N2 - A search is performed for production of short-lived particles in e+e- → XY, with X → γγ and Y → ff̄, for scalar X and scalar or vector Y. Model-independent limits in the range of 25-60 femtobarns are presented on (e+e- → XY) × B(X → γγ) × B(Y → ff̄) for centre-of-mass energies in the range 205-207 GeV. The data from all LEP centre-of-mass energies 88-209 GeV are also interpreted in the context of fermiophobic Higgs boson models, for which a lower mass limit of 105.5 GeV is obtained for a "benchmark" fermiophobic Higgs boson.
