DE2: Supersymmetry with baryon or lepton number violation

Models with decays violating baryon or lepton number may lead to instable lightest supersymmetric particles (LSP). The lifetime of the LSP depends on the size of the baryon or lepton number violating coupling. If the lifetime is sufficiently long one will observe a long-lived particle crossing the whole detector which may be distinguished from muons due to its high rate of ionization and its low speed. In the case of short lifetimes one has promising final states including electron or muons for lepton number violating processes.
