Abstract
A search for pair-production of supersymmetric particles under the assumption that R-parity is violated via a dominant $LQ{\bar D}$ coupling has been performed using the data collected by ALEPH at centre-of-mass energies of 130-172GeV. The observed candidate events in the data are in agreement with the Standard Model expectation. This result is translated into lower limits on the masses of charginos, neutralinos, sleptons, sneutrinos and squarks. For instance, for m₀=500GeV $/\mathrm{c}^2$ and $\tan{\beta}=\sqrt{2}$ charginos with masses smaller than 81GeV $/\mathrm{c}^2$ and neutralinos with masses smaller than 29GeV $/\mathrm{c}^2$ are excluded at the $95\%$ confidence level for any generation structure of the $LQ{\bar D}$ coupling.
