Searches for supersymmetric particles produced in e(+)e(-) interaction
s at the Z peak have been performed under the assumptions that R-parit
y is not conserved, that the dominant R-parity violating coupling invo
lves only leptonic fields, and that the lifetime of the lightest super
symmetric particle can be neglected. In a data sample collected by the
ALEPH detector at LEP up to 1993, and corresponding to almost two mil
lion hadronic Z decays, no signal was observed. As a result, supersymm
etric particle masses and couplings are at least as well constrained a
s under the usual assumption of R-parity conservation.
