  Light strongly interacting supersymmetric particles may be treated as
partonic constituents of nucleons in high energy scattering processes. We
construct parton distribution functions for protons in which a light gluino is
included along with standard model quark, antiquark, and gluon constituents. A
global analysis is performed of a large set of data from deep-inelastic lepton
scattering, massive lepton pair and vector boson production, and hadron jet
production at large values of transverse momentum. Constraints are obtained on
the allowed range of gluino mass as a function of the value of the strong
coupling strength alpha_s(M_Z) determined at the scale of the Z boson mass. We
find that gluino masses as small as 10 GeV are admissible provided that
alpha_s(M_Z) \ge 0.12. Current hadron scattering data are insensitive to the
presence of gluinos heavier than ~ 100 - 150 GeV.
