Possible sneutrino-pair signatures with R-parity breaking

Abstract

If sneutrinos are the lightest supersymmetry partners and $R$-parity is not conserved, the process $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to \widetilde{\stackrel{ˉ}{\nu }}\tilde{\nu }$ can have striking signatures due to the decay modes $\tilde{\nu }\to {\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{\prime -}$ or $\tilde{\nu }\to q{\bar{q}}^{\prime }$. We present cross section formulas and discuss event rates and detection at the upgraded $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collider LEP. Four-lepton signals should be detectable up to sneutrino mass ${\tilde{m}}_{\nu }=80$ GeV and maybe beyond; four-jet signals should be detectable up to ${\tilde{m}}_{\nu }=70$ GeV, but would probably be obscured thereafter by $WW$ background.
