Abstract: | We consider new s-channel scalar exchanges in e+e−→ZZ, W+W− in supersymmetry with a small lepton number violation. We show that a small bilinear R-parity violating term which leads to sneutrino–Higgs mixing can give rise to a significant scalar resonance enhancement in e+e−→ZZ, W+W−. We use the LEP2 measurements of the WW and ZZ cross-sections to place useful constraints on this scenario. We also find, under conservative assumptions on the relevant parameter space involved, that such an exchange of the sneutrino-like admixture in e+e−→ZZ, W+W− may be accessible to a 500 GeV e+e− collider. |
