Single-top-squark production via qqt̃̅ 1 probes R-parity-violating extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model through the λ3ij′′ couplings. For masses in the range 180–325 GeV, and λ3ij′′>0.02–0.06, we show that discovery of the top squark is possible with 2 fb-1 of integrated luminosity at run II of the Fermilab Tevatron. The bound on λ3ij′′ can be reduced by up to 1 order of magnitude with existing data from run I, and by 2 orders of magnitude at run II if the top squark is not found.
