Astrophysical aspects of fermion number violation in the supersymmetrical Standard Model
The model of the supersymmetrical ball in the supersymmetrical Standard Model with additional globalU(1) fermion symmetry is presented. We show that the supersymmetry breaking scale (R-parity), the globalU(1) fer...
