R-Parity Violation at HERA ?

Abstract

We examine the possibility that the high-Q^2 events seen at HERA are due to the production and decay of squarks of R-parity violating supersymmetry. The relevant R-parity violating coupling(s) is identified and shown to lie between 0.03 and 0.26. Consequences of such a coupling at other experiments, such as the LEP and Tevatron, are discussed.
