We consider implications of the loop process {tilde {nu}}{r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma} in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with {ital R}-parity violation (R/{sub P}) for future experiments, where the sneutrino is produced as the only supersymmetric particle. We present a scenario for the R/{sub P} couplings, where this clean decay, although rare with Br({tilde {nu}}{r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma}){approximately}10{sup {minus}6}, may be useful for sneutrino detection over a range of sneutrino masses at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Furthermore, the new {tilde {nu}}{gamma}{gamma} effective coupling may induce detectable sneutrino resonant production in {gamma}{gamma} collisions, over a considerably wide mass range. We compare {tilde {nu}}{r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma}, gg throughout the paper with the analogous yet quantitatively very different, Higgs boson {r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma}, gg decays and comment on the loop processes {tilde {nu}}{r_arrow}WW, ZZ. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
