Photoproduction of Very Light Gluinos

Current experiments allow the possibility of gluino masses below about 600 MeV if the lifetime of the gluino is longer than 100 picoseconds. If the mass and lifetime are in this window, then photoproduction of pairs of gluino-gluon bound states can provide a means to observe them. The cross section is large enough that the window can be fully explored, up to lifetimes exceeding a microsecond, at high luminosity electron accelerators.
