Abstract
In a class of supergravity models, the gluino and photino are massless at the tree level and receive small masses through radiative correcti ons. In such models, one expects a gluino-gluon bound state, the R(0), to have a mass of between 1.0 and 2.2 GeV and a lifetime between 10(- 10) and 10(-6) sec. Applying perturbative QCD methods (whose validity we discuss), we calculate the production cross sections of R(0)'s in e -p, pi-p, K-p, <(p)over bar-p>, and p-p collisions. Signatures are als o discussed.
