A total of 628 pb-1 of data collected with the ALEPH detector
at centre-of-mass energies from 189 to 209 GeV is analysed in the search
for gauge mediated SUSY breaking (GMSB) topologies. These topologies
include two acoplanar photons, non-pointing single photons, acoplanar
leptons, large impact parameter leptons, detached slepton decay vertices,
heavy stable charged sleptons and multi-leptons plus missing energy final
states. No evidence is found for new phenomena, and lower limits on masses
of supersymmetric particles are derived. A scan of a minimal GMSB
parameter space is performed and lower limits are set for the
next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) mass at 54 GeV/c2
and for the mass scale parameter L at 10 TeV/c2,
independently of the NLSP lifetime. Including the results from the neutral
Higgs boson searches, a NLSP mass limit of 77 GeV/c2 is
obtained and values of L up to 16 TeV/c2
are excluded.
