Abstract
Supergravity theory with a superlight gravitino (of mass ) leads to many interesting decay modes which are not present in the standard model or in the usual supergravity theory. We discuss the signals associated with two such decay modes, , where is a massless scalar (pseudoscalar) particle present in this theory, and is a quark or a lepton. Lack of observation of this mode in the current measurements at the CERN collider LEP leads to a lower bound on the gravitino mass of GeV. Such decays will be observable with at LEP if the gravitino mass is less than GeV.
