Supersymmetric Theories with R-Parity Violation

Abstract

In these Lectures we review the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model as well as some of its extensions that include R-Parity violation. The cases of spontaneous breaking of R-Parity as well as that of explicit violation through bilinear terms in the superpotential are studied in detail. The signals at LEP and the prospects for LHC are discussed.
