We consider the possibility that the scalar partners of the neutrinos (v) are the least massive supersymmetric partners, and show that this alternative is compatible with cosmological constraints, which put a significant lower bound on photino masses but not on v masses. Various consequences are examined: the photon counting rate for e+e--->γv v~¯ may be large; the rate for e+e--->W+aW- by v exchange is enhaced; Z0--> increases Γ(Z0) by about 0.25 GeV; W+/--->l+-v may be enhanced; the decay τ-->vτllv~¯ may be detectable; there can be additional contributions to the rare decay K+-->π+v v~¯ restrictions on gluino masses, which depend on photinos interacting before they decay, have to be re-examined; scalar neutrinos have suitable characteristics as candidates for dark matter in the universe. We discuss one currently fashionable class of models that can predicr a light v.
