A recently reported anomaly in the time structure of signals in the KARMEN neutrino detector suggests the decay of a new particle $x$, produced in $\pi^+ \to \mu^+ x$ with mass $m_x=33.9$ MeV. We discuss the constraints and difficulties in…
We interpret the KARMEN time anomaly as being due to the production of a (dominantly bino) neutralino with mass 33.9 MeV, which is the lightest supersymmetric particle but decays into 3 leptons through the violation of R-parity. For…
We have searched for the pion decay pi^+ --> mu^+ X, where X is a neutral particle of mass 33.905 MeV. This process was suggested by the KARMEN Collaboration to explain an anomaly in their observed time distribution of neutrino induced…
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…
The time anomaly of neutrino events observed in the KARMEN detector at the ISIS facility is discussed. We show that beam-correlated neutron events are not completely suppressed by the KARMEN lower energy cut and could cause the observed…
An anomaly in time distribution of neutrinos from the ISIS pulsed beam stop source observed by the KARMEN collaboration is discussed. We show that the anomaly can be interpreted as a superposition of two exponentials, both having time…
We present sensitivities for the MiniBooNE experiment to a rare exotic pion decay producing a massive particle, Q^0. This type of decay represents one possible explanation for the timing anomaly reported by the KARMEN collaboration.…
Recent resuls from experiments at Fermilab and the Paul Scherrer Institute have constrained the parameter space available for a hypothetical particle $Q^0$ produced in the decay $\pi^+ \to \mu^+ Q^0$. This decay has been invoked to explain…
The Karmen anomaly can be interpreted as being due to a heavy neutrino of mass around 137 MeV produced in $\pi_{e 2}$ decays. This interpretation is consistent with the present limits on the couplings of such an object.
Motivated by the anomaly in the KARMEN experiment, we study new possibilities for brane-world models of neutrino masses. We show that the KARMEN anomaly can be understood in the context of a six-dimensional brane-world model. The…
The E815 (NuTeV) neutrino experiment has performed a search for a 33.9 MeV/c^2 weakly-interacting neutral particle produced in pion decay. Such a particle may be responsible for an anomaly in the timing distribution of neutrino interactions…
The neutrino experiment KARMEN at the beam stop neutrino source ISIS investigates the oscillation channel numubar->nuebar in the appearance mode by looking for p(nuebar,e+)n reactions. An analysis of data collected from February 1997…
The recent real time KARMEN anomaly for the electron neutrino counting rates (obtained from stopped muon decays) is analyzed by employing a neutrino flavor rotation model in which the muon neutrino is in a superposition of only two mass…
A theoretical structure that involves neutrino mass eigenstates at non relativistic as well as relativistic energies is presented. Using this framework, we find that if the particle X, with mass 33.9 MeV, of the KARMEN collaboration anomaly…
Recently, it has been proposed that the observed anomaly in the time distribution of neutrino induced reactions, reported by the KARMEN collaboration, can be interpreted as a signal from an exotic muon decay branch mu+ to e+ X. It has been…
An anomaly in the time behaviour of the signals observed by the KARMEN Collaboration may be interpreted as the possible decay signature of a 33.9 MeV/c$^2$ mainly sterile neutrino. This note discusses the parameter space still open for the…

Signatures of anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking in linear colliders are briefly reviewed after presenting an outline of the theoretical framework. A unique and distinct feature of a large class of models of this type is a winolike…

This work has attempted to reconcile puzzling neutrino oscillation results from the LSND, KARMEN and MiniBooNE experiments. We show that the LSND evidence for $\bar{\nu}_\mu \to \bar{\nu}_e$ oscillations, its long-standing disagreement with…
