Abstract: Lunardon and Polverino construct a translation plane starting from a scattered linear set of pseudoregulus type in $mathrmPG(1,q^t)$. In this paper a similar construction of a translation plane $mathcal{A}_f$ obtained from any scattered linearized polynomial $f(x)$ in $mathbb{F}_{q^t}[x]$ is described and investigated. A class of quasifields giving rise to such planes is defined. Denote by $U_f$ the $mathbb{F}_q$-subspace of $mathbb{F}_{q^t}^2$ associated with $f(x)$. If $f(x)$ and $f^{\prime }(x)$ are scattered, then $mathcal{A}_f$ and $mathcal{A}_{f^{\prime }}$ are isomorphic if and only if $U_f$ and $U_{f^{\prime }}$ belong to the same orbit under the action of $GammamathrmL(2,q^t)$. This gives rise to as many distinct translation planes as there are inequivalent scattered linearized polynomials. In particular, for any scattered linear set $L$ of maximum rank in $mathrmPG(1,q^t)$ there are $c_{G}amma(L)$ pairwise non-isomorphic translation planes, where $c_{G}amma(L)$ denotes the $GammamathrmL$-class of $L$, as defined by Csajb'ok, Marino and Polverino. A result by Jha and Johnson allows to describe the automorphism groups of the planes obtained from the linear sets not of pseudoregulus type defined by Lunardon and Polverino.
