Abstract
The four-jet final state is analyzed to search for hadronic decays of pair-produced heavy particles. The analysis uses the ALEPH data collec ted at LEP in November 1995 at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 5.7 pb(-1). An excess of four-jet events is observed with respect to the standard mod el predictions. In addition, these events exhibit an enhancement in th e sum of the two di-jet masses around 105 GeV/c(2). The properties of these events are studied and compared to the expectations from standar d processes and to pair production hypotheses.
