A search for charged Higgs bosons decaying into quarks is described, b
ased on statistics of around 1.7 million hadronic Z0 decays detected i
n DELPHI. Despite the very high background from standard hadronic deca
ys of the Z0, masses in the range up to 43.5 GeV/c2 are excluded at th
e 95% confidence level. After combination with a search for leptonic d
ecays, this mass limit is extended to cover all branching ratios. A si
milar analysis sets new limits on the possible production of any pair-
produced heavy scalar decaying into a pair of jets, such as neutral Hi
ggs bosons in a two doublet scheme and diquarks.
