5. u which can induce sneutrino-Higgs-boson mixing and, in general, cannot be rotated away. We note that this term is of little relevance for our reactions since a possible sneutrino-Higgs-boson mixing will cause insignificant changes in our cross sections due to the smallness of the Higgs couplings to down-quarks and leptons.

20. 3 obtained in [11] implies that electron-sneutrino mixing is expected to be much smaller then muon-sneutrino mixing.

26. Note that some limits on the various λ and λ′ couplings scale with the masses of sleptons and squarks rather than the sneutrinos masses, since they were derived from processes involving sleptons and squarks only. For simplicity we assume here that these couplings possess the same scaling behavior also with the sneutrinos masses.

30. We note that, in Tables I-III, when combining limits from two individual couplings to limit their product we disregard the slight change in the statistical significance of the new limit; i.e., two individual 1σ limits, when combined, will yield a new limit which is above the 1σ level. Therefore, in these cases the limits are somewhat stronger, i.e., more than 1σ, and our results should be interpreted accordingly.

35. We want to emphasize that so far the τ spins have not been measured at the Tevatron and that the results of Sec. III in this paper cannot be used until such a measurement is accomplished. We are making an assumption that such a measurement with an efficiency of ∼10% will be attainable in the future.
