Searching for R-Parity Violation at Run-II of the Tevatron

Abstract

We present an outlook for possible discovery of supersymmetry with broken R-parity at Run II of the Tevatron. We first present a review of the literature and an update of the experimental bounds. In turn we then discuss the following processes: 1. Resonant slepton production followed by R-parity violating decay, (a) via $LQ{D}^c$ and (b) via $LL{E}^c$. 2. How to distinguish resonant slepton production from $Z^{\prime }$ or $W^{\prime }$ production. 3. Resonant slepton production followed by the decay to neutralino LSP, which decays via $LQ{D}^c$. 4. Resonant stop production followed by the decay to a chargino, which cascades to the neutralino LSP. 5. Gluino pair production followed by the cascade decay to charm squarks which decay directly via $L_1{Q}_2{D}_1^c$. 6. Squark pair production followed by the cascade decay to the neutralino LSP which decays via $L_1{Q}_2{D}_1^c$. 7. MSSM pair production followed by the cascade decay to the LSP which decays (a) via $LL{E}^c$, (b) via $LQ{D}^c$, and (c) via $U^c{D}^c{D}^c$, respectively. 8. Top quark and top squark decays in spontaneous R-parity violation.
