DOWNLOAD EBOOKSearches for the supersymmetric partners of top and bottom quarks using data up to 340 pb{sup -1} taken at the Tevatron p{bar p} collider are described. We report on searches for scalar top quarks {tilde t} in the decays {tilde t} {yields} c{tilde {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0} and {tilde t} {yields} bl{tilde v} and for scalar bottom quarks in the decay {tilde b} {yields} b{tilde {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0}. No evidence for a signal has been found, but improved exclusion regions have been derived in the framework of a generic minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model.
