Searches for scalar top, scalar bottom and degenerate scalar quarks have been performed with data collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP. The data sample consists of 57 pb-1 taken at = 181-184 GeV. No evidence for scalar top, scalar bottom or degenerate scalar quarks was found in the channels t~-->cχ, t~-->blν~, b~-->bχ, and q~-->qχ. From the channel t~-->cχ a limit of 74 GeV/c2 has been set on the scalar top quark mass, independent of the mixing angle. This limit assumes a mass difference between the t~ and the χ in the range 10-40 GeV/c2. From the channel t~-->blν~ the mixing-angle-independent scalar top limit is 82 GeV/c2, assuming mt~-mν~ > 10 GeV/c2. From the channel b~-->bχ, a limit of 79 GeV/c2 has been set on the mass of the supersymmetric partner of the left-handed state of the bottom quark. This limit is valid for mb~-mχ > 10 GeV/c2. From the channel q~-->qχ, a limit of 87 GeV/c2 has been set on the mass of supersymmetric partners of light quarks assuming five degenerate flavours and the production of both ``left-handed'' and ``right-handed'' squarks. This limit is valid for mq~-mχ > 5 GeV/c2.

Abstract
Searches for scalar top, scalar bottom and degenerate scalar quarks have been performed with data collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP. The data sample consists of 57 pb-1 taken at = 181-184 GeV. No evidence for scalar top, scalar bottom or degenerate scalar quarks was found in the channels t~-->cχ, t~-->blν~, b~-->bχ, and q~-->qχ. From the channel t~-->cχ a limit of 74 GeV/c2 has been set on the scalar top quark mass, independent of the mixing angle. This limit assumes a mass difference between the t~ and the χ in the range 10-40 GeV/c2. From the channel t~-->blν~ the mixing-angle-independent scalar top limit is 82 GeV/c2, assuming mt~-mν~ > 10 GeV/c2. From the channel b~-->bχ, a limit of 79 GeV/c2 has been set on the mass of the supersymmetric partner of the left-handed state of the bottom quark. This limit is valid for mb~-mχ > 10 GeV/c2. From the channel q~-->qχ, a limit of 87 GeV/c2 has been set on the mass of supersymmetric partners of light quarks assuming five degenerate flavours and the production of both ``left-handed'' and ``right-handed'' squarks. This limit is valid for mq~-mχ > 5 GeV/c2.Pubblicazioni consigliate
