    The studies of Fermi-Dirac correlations of ΛΛ\Lambda\Lambda and ΛˉΛˉ\bar{\Lambda}\bar{\Lambda} pairs in hadronic Z\mathrm{Z} decays, Bose-Einstein correlations and colour reconnection in W\mathrm{W}-pairs decays performed by the ALEPH collaboration in e+e\mathrm{e^+e^-} annihilation at LEP are presented. The OPAL analysis of Bose-Einstein correlations in W\mathrm{W}-pair decays is also discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures; LaTeX (espcrc2.sty). Talk presented at QCD'99, Montpellier, 7-13 July 1999.

    Search for supersymmetry with a dominant R-parity violating LQDbar couplings in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130GeV to 172 GeV

    A search for pair-production of supersymmetric particles under the assumption that R-parity is violated via a dominant LQDbar coupling has been performed using the data collected by ALEPH at centre-of-mass energies of 130-172 GeV. The observed candidate events in the data are in agreement with the Standard Model expectation. This result is translated into lower limits on the masses of charginos, neutralinos, sleptons, sneutrinos and squarks. For instance, for m_0=500 GeV/c^2 and tan(beta)=sqrt(2) charginos with masses smaller than 81 GeV/c^2 and neutralinos with masses smaller than 29 GeV/c^2 are excluded at the 95% confidence level for any generation structure of the LQDbar coupling.Comment: 32 pages, 30 figure
