dc.descriptionA search for squarks of R-parity violating supersymmetry is performed in $ep$ collisions at HERA using H1 1994 $e^+$ data. Direct single production of squarks of each generation by $e^+$-quark fusion via a Yukawa coupling $λ'$ is considered. All possible R-parity violating decays and gauge decays of the squarks are taken into account. No significant deviation from the Standard Model predictions is found in the various multi-lepton and multi-jet final states studied and exclusion limits are derived. At 95% confidence level, the existence of first generation squarks is excluded for masses up to $240 \GeV $ for coupling values $λ' \gtrsim \sqrt{4πα_{em}}$.The limits obtained are shown to be only weakly dependent on the free parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Stop squarks are excluded for masses up to $138 \GeV$ for coupling $λ' \times \cos θ_t$ to $e^+d$ pairs $\gtrsim 0.1 \times \sqrt{4πα_{em}}$, where $θ_t$ is the mass mixing angle. Light stop squarks are furthermore searched for through pair production in $γ$-gluon fusion processes. No signal is observed and exclusion limits are derived. Masses in the range 9 to $24.4 \GeV$ are excluded at 95% confidence level for $λ' \times \cos θ_t > 10^{-4}$.
