Abstract

The production of excited quarks has been looked for in e+e- interactions at PETRA at center of mass energies up to 46.8 GeV using the CELLO detector. The different final state topologies considered are four-jets, two-jets and two-photons, three-jets, two-jets and one-photon. No deviation from standard QCD predictions is observed, thus yielding limits on the coupling constants and the masses of these possible quark states.
