Abstract
In the recently proposed 'split supersymmetry' scenario, the squark and slepton masses are allowed to be at a high scale while the gauginos and higgsinos are within a TeV. We show that in a theory with broken R-parity, the parameter space of such a scenario allows a situation where the lightest neutralino is still stable on the cosmological scale and can be a dark matter candidate. We also separate the cases where (a) it may be invisible but not a dark matter candidate, or (b) it may decay showing a displaced vertex. It is also emphasized how the constraint on the simultaneous violation of baryon and lepton numbers gets relaxed in this scenario.
