Abstract: (Elsevier)
We consider supersymmetric models with low-energy baryon number (and R -parity) violation through renormalizable interactions. We find that: (i) the most stringent limit on superpartner masses from nucleon instability comes from the reaction NN → KK + X requiring squark masses in the TeV range; (ii) the lightest supersymmetric particle, which can be a photino, a charged w̃-ino or a slepton, has B -violating decays into quarks with lifetimes τ = O(10 −8 ÷ 10 −12 secs) for masses of O(100 GeV); (iii) the models naturally account for a source of superweak CP violation.
