We report on a search for second generation scalar leptoquarks with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron {ital pp}{ovr bar} collider at {radical}{ital s}=1.8TeV. This search is based on 12.7pb{sup {minus}1} of data. Second generation leptoquarks are assumed to be produced in pairs and to decay into a muon and quark with branching ratio {beta} or into a neutrino and quark with branching ratio 1{minus}{beta}. We obtain cross section times branching ratio limits as a function of leptoquark mass and set lower limits on the leptoquark mass at the 95% confidence level. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital The} {ital American} {ital Physical} {ital Society}.
