SUSY-QCD corrections to stop and sbottom decays into Higgs bosons

We calculate the order(α_s) SUSY-QCD corrections to the widths of stop and sbottom decays into Higgs bosons within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We give the complete analytical formulae paying particular attention to the on-shell renormalization of the soft SUSY-breaking parameters. We also perform a detailed numerical analysis of both stop and sbottom decays into all Higgs bosons h^0, H^0, A^0, and H^\pm. We find that the SUSY-QCD corrections are significant, mostly negative and of the order of a few ten percent.

Bosonic decays of stop_2 and sbottom_2

We perform a detailed study of the decays of the heavier top and bottom squarks (stop_2 and sbottom_2) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We show that the decays into Higgs or gauge bosons can be dominant in a wide range of the model parameters due to the large Yukawa couplings and mixings of stops and sbottoms. Compared to the conventional decays into fermions these bosonic decay modes can have significantly different decay structures and distributions. This could have an important impact on the search for stop_2 and sbottom_2 and the determination of the MSSM parameters at future colliders.

Sfermion Pair Production at $μ^+ μ^-$ Colliders

We discuss pair production of stops, sbottoms, staus and tau--sneutrinos at a $μ^+ μ^-$ collider. We present the formulae for the production cross sections and perform a detailed numerical analysis within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In particular, we consider sfermion production near $\sqrt{s} = m_{H^0}$ and $\sqrt{s} = m_{A^0}$.

SUSY-QCD corrections to squark production and decays in e+e- annihilation

We discuss the supersymmetric O(alpha_s) QCD corrections to e+ e- -> squark_i + antisquark_j (i,j = 1,2) and to squark_i -> q' + chargino_j, q + neutralino_k (i,j = 1,2; k = 1...4) within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In particular we consider the squarks of the third generation stop_i and sbottom_i including the left-right mixing. In the on-shell scheme also the mixing angle has to be renormalized. We use dimensional reduction (which preserves supersymmetry) and compare it with the conventional dimensional regularization. A detailed numerical analysis is also presented.

SUSY-QCD corrections to stop and sbottom decays into W and Z bosons

We calculate the supersymmetric ${\cal O}(α_s)$ QCD corrections to stop and sbottom decays into vector bosons within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We give analytic formulae and perform a numerical analysis of these decays. We find that SUSY-QCD corrections to the decay widths are typically -5% to -10% depending on the squark masses, squark mixing angles, and the gluino mass.

Search of Stop, Sbottom, $τ$-Sneutrino, and Stau at an $e^+e^-$ Linear Collider with $\sqrt{s}=0.5 - 2$ TeV

We discuss pair production and decays of stops, sbottoms, $τ$-sneutrinos, and staus in $e^+e^-$ annihilation in the energy range $\sqrt{s} = 500 GeV$ to 2 TeV. Numerical predictions within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) for cross sections and decay rates are presented. We study the stop discovery potential for $\sqrt{s} = 500 GeV$ and $10 \fb^{-1}$ integrated luminosity for polarized e^- beams. Moreover, we give an estimate of the error of the soft-breaking stop and sbottom parameters that can be obtained by cross section measurements with polarized e^- beams.

SUSY--QCD corrections to scalar quark decays into charginos and neutralinos

We calculate the supersymmetric QCD corrections in order $α_s$ to the decays $\squark_i \to q' \chargino_j$ (i,j = 1,2) and $\squark_i \to q \neutralino_k$ (k = 1,...4) within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In particular we consider the decays of squarks of the third generation, $\stop_i$ and $\sbottom_i$ (i = 1,2), where the left--right mixing must be taken into account. The corrections turn out to be of about 10\%, except for higgsino--like charginos or neutralinos, where they can go up to 40\%.

Production of Stop, Sbottom, and Stau at LEP2

We present a comprehensive study of pair production and decay of stops, sbottoms, and staus in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation at LEP2. We give numerical predictions within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model for cross sections and decay rates, and discuss the important signatures. In the case of stau production we also study the polarization of the tau in the decays stau_1 -> tau + neutralino_{1,2}.
