Abstract

We interpret the KARMEN time anomaly as being due to the production of a (dominantly bino) neutralino with mass 33.9 MeV, which is the lightest supersymmetric particle but decays into 3 leptons through the violation of R parity. For independent gaugino masses M1 and M2 we find regions in the (M1, M2, μ, tanβ) parameter space where such a light neutralino is consistent with all experiments. Future tests of this hypothesis are outlined.
