7. It has been argued that linear (Formula presented) colliders operating at a (Formula presented) GeV have a reach comparable to the LHC. This is under the usual assumption that uncolored sparticles are significantly lighter than their colored cousins. The situation would be very different if the colored sparticles are the lighter ones.
8. Spontaneous (Formula presented)-parity violation via vacuum expectation values (VEV’s) of doublet sneutrinos is phenomenologically excluded by measurements of (Formula presented) at the CERN (Formula presented) collider LEP, and so is possible only if additional singlet neutrino superfields are introduced.

23. The impact of (Formula presented)-parity violation via baryon-number-nonconserving operators on the isolated like sign dilepton signal at hadron supercolliders has been discussed by J. Gunion and P. Binetruy, Davis Report No. UCD-88-32, 1988 (unpublished) and by

25. Of course, if this lifetime is sufficiently long, it may be possible to see the displaced vertex from LSP decay and make the signal detection easier.
