Abstract

We consider the hypothesis that the recently reported anomaly in the time structure of signals in the KARMEN experiment is due to the production of a light photino (or Zino) which decays radiatively due to violation of R-parity. Such a particle is shown to be consistent with all experimental data and with cosmological nucleosynthesis. There are difficulties with constraints from SN~1987A but these may be evaded if squarks are non-degenerate in mass.
