    Sneutrino-induced like sign dilepton signal with conserved R-parity

    Lepton number violation could be manifest in the sneutrino sector of supersymmetric extensions of the standard model with conserved R-parity. Then sneutrinos decay partly into the ``wrong sign charged lepton'' final state, if kinematically accessible. In sneutrino pair production or associated single sneutrino production, the signal then is a like sign dilepton final state. Under favourable circumstances, such a signal could be visible at the LHC or a next generation linear collider for a relative sneutrino mass-splitting of order O(0.001){\cal O}(0.001) and sneutrino width of order O{\cal O}(1 GeV). On the other hand, the like sign dilepton event rate at the TEVATRON is probably too small to be observable.Comment: 19 pages, 14 Figures. Section about LSD at LHC and TEVATRON added.
