A search for a scalar top quark has been performed using a total data sample of 10.4 pb-1 at centre-of-mass energies of √s = 170 and 172 GeV collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. No candidate events were observed. Combining this result with those obtained at √s = 130, 136 and 161 GeV, the 95% C.L. lower limit on the scalar top quark mass is 66.8 GeV, if the mixing angle between the supersymmetric partners of the left- and right-handed states of the top quark is smaller than π/4. If the mixing angle is zero, the limit is 73.3 GeV. These limits were obtained assuming that the scalar top quark decays into a charm quark and the lightest neutralino, and that the mass difference between the scalar top quark and the lightest neutralino is larger than 10 GeV. The complementary decay mode of the scalar top quark in which it decays into a bottom quark, a charged lepton and a scalar neutrino was also studied. From a similar analysis, a mass limit on the light scalar bottom quark was set at 69.7 GeV, for a mixing angle between the supersymmetric partners of the left- and right-handed states of the bottom quark of zero, and the mass difference between the scalar bottom quark and the lightest neutralino larger than 8 GeV.

N2 - A search for a scalar top quark has been performed using a total data sample of 10.4 pb-1 at centre-of-mass energies of √s = 170 and 172 GeV collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. No candidate events were observed. Combining this result with those obtained at √s = 130, 136 and 161 GeV, the 95% C.L. lower limit on the scalar top quark mass is 66.8 GeV, if the mixing angle between the supersymmetric partners of the left- and right-handed states of the top quark is smaller than π/4. If the mixing angle is zero, the limit is 73.3 GeV. These limits were obtained assuming that the scalar top quark decays into a charm quark and the lightest neutralino, and that the mass difference between the scalar top quark and the lightest neutralino is larger than 10 GeV. The complementary decay mode of the scalar top quark in which it decays into a bottom quark, a charged lepton and a scalar neutrino was also studied. From a similar analysis, a mass limit on the light scalar bottom quark was set at 69.7 GeV, for a mixing angle between the supersymmetric partners of the left- and right-handed states of the bottom quark of zero, and the mass difference between the scalar bottom quark and the lightest neutralino larger than 8 GeV.
