Higher Twist Contributions To R-Hadron Phenomenology In The Light Gluino Scenario

The open light gluino window allows non-trivial higher twist gluino contributions to the proton wave function. Using a two-component model originally developed for charm hadroproduction, higher twist intrinsic gluino contributions to final state R-hadron formation are shown to enhance leading twist production in the forward $x_{F}$ region. We calculate R-hadron production at $p_{\rm{lab}}=800$ GeV in pp, pBe, and pCu interactions with light gluino masses of 1.2, 1.5, 3.5, and 5.0 GeV.
