The high-Q^2 Hera anomaly and supersymmetric unification

Abstract

We discuss an initial condition on the superpotential couplings of an SU(5) theory which allows the R-violating term L d^c Q but avoids the simultaneous presence of L L e^c + d^c d^c u^c. This same condition keeps under control the products of pairs of different couplings lambda_{ijk} L_i d^c_j Q_k, which are more strongly constrained by flavour-changing-neutral-current limits. In our view, this observation makes relatively more plausible the interpretation of the high-Q^2 Hera anomaly, if real, as caused by squark production.
