Right-handed neutrinos offer us the possibility of accommodating neutrinomasses. In a supersymmetric model, this implies the existence of right-handedsneutrinos. Right-handed sneutrinos are expected to be as light as othersupersymmetric particles if the neutrinos are Dirac fermions, or if thelepton-number breaking scale is at (or below) the supersymmetry (SUSY) breakingscale, assumed to be around the electroweak scale. Depending on the mechanismof SUSY breaking, the lightest right-handed sneutrino may be the lightestsupersymmetric particle (LSP). We consider the unique hadron collidersignatures of a weak scale right-handed sneutrino LSP, assuming R-parityconservation. For concreteness, we concentrate on stop pair-production anddecay at the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider, and briefly comment on theproduction and decay of other supersymmetric particles.Comment: 25 pages, 15 figures. v2: References added. v3: Published versio
