Neutrino mass patterns, R-parity violating supersymmetry and associated phenomenology

Motivated by the recent super-Kamiokande results on atmospheric neutrinos, we incorporate massive neutrinos, with large angle oscillation between the second and third generations, in a theory with R-parity violating supersymm etry. The general features of such a theory are briefly reviewed. We emphas ize its testability through the observation of comparable numbers of muons and taus, produced together with the W-boson, in decays of the lightest neu tralino. A distinctly measurable decay gap is another remarkable feature of such a scenario.
