Searches for scalar quarks in e+e- interactions at √s =189 GeV
Searches for scalar top and scalar bottom quarks, as well as for mass-degenerate scalar quarks of the first two families are performed at 189 GeV centre-of-mass energy with the L3 detector at LEP. No signals are observed. Model-independent limits on the scalar top production cross sections are deter...

| Sumario: | Searches for scalar top and scalar bottom quarks, as well as for mass-degenerate scalar quarks of the first two families are performed at 189 GeV centre-of-mass energy with the L3 detector at LEP. No signals are observed.

Within the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model mass limits are set at 95% C.L. for these particles. Indirect limits on the gluino mass are also derived. |
