Abstract
We review the consequences of spontaneously broken R-parity in present and planned lepton-lepton colliders. In the left-right models the R-parity, R=(−1)3(B−L)+2S, is preserved due to the gauge symmetry, but it must be spontaneously broken in order to the scalar spectrum to be physically consistent. The spontaneous breaking is generated via a non-vanishing VEV of at least one of the sneutrinos, which necessarily means non-conservation of lepton number L. The R-parity violating couplings are parametrized in terms of mixing angles, whose values depend on model parameters. Combined with the constraints derived from low-energy measurements this yields allowed ranges for various R-parity breaking couplings. The R-parity breaking allows for the processes in which a single chargino or neutralino is produced, subsequently decaying at the interaction point to non-supersymmetric particles.
