## Abstract We conduct a computer search for elation Laguerre planes of order 16 and show that each such plane is ovoidal. The search results also confirm the numbers of hyperovals through certain points in the dual translation planes of order 16 given in [15]. Β© 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comb

β¦ Synopsis
Translation Laguerre planes of order 16 are investigated, and a related search is carried out for translation ovals in the eight translation planes of order 16 and for certain collections of such ovals called 2-pencils. Although in some of these planes there are considerably more translation hyperovals through two infinite points than in the Desarguesian plane, such pencils only exist in the Desarguesian plane and in the Hall plane. From this we deduce that there are only two translation Laguerre planes of order 16 , and that both are ovoidal over a translation oval.

We introduce finite Laguerre near-planes and investigate such planes of odd order that admit a Desarguesian derivation.
A class of translation planes of order q2, where q =pr, p is a prime, p I>7, p~=t=l (mod 10) and r is an odd natural number is constructed and the translation complements of these planes are determined. A property shared by all these planes is that the translation complement fixes a distinguished po
