CP violation in e+e- -> t tbar: Energy Asymmetries and Optimal Observables of b and bbar Quarks

The energy spectra of the b and bbar quarks in e+e- -> t tbar with t -> b W (tbar -> bbar W) are calculated assuming CP violation in the production process. Expressions for the corresponding CP violating asymmetries and optimal observables that determine the imaginary parts of the electric and weak dipole moment form factors of the top are derived. It is shown that polarization of the initial lepton beams is essential to disentangle Im d^γ(s) and Im d^{Z}(s). Numerical results are given in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex phases.

Spin Correlations in Production and Decay of Charginos

We study the production of charginos e^+ e^- -> chi^+_i chi^-_j, (i,j=1,2) with polarized beams and the subsequent decays chi^+_i -> chi^0_k ell^+ nu and chi^-_j -> chi^0_l ell^- nu, (k,l=1,...,4), including the complete spin correlations between production and decay. Analytical formulae are presented for the joint spin-density matrix of the charginos, for the chargino decay matrix and for the differential cross section of the combined processes of production and decays. We present numerical results for pair production of the lighter chargino with unpolarized beams and the leptonic decay of chi^+_1 into the lightest neutralino chi^0_1. The lepton angular distribution and the forward-backward asymmetry are studied in four representative scenarios for sqrt{s}=192 GeV and sqrt{s}=200 GeV.

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 $\sqrt{s} = m_{A^0}$.

CP violating angular asymmetries of b and bbar quarks in e+e- -> t tbar

We obtain analytical formulae for the cross section and the angular distributions of the b(bbar) quarks in the process e+e- -> t tbar, with t -> W+ b (tbar -> W- bbar) assuming CP violation in the γt tbar and Z t tbar vertices. We present CP violating asymmetries, which measure separately the real and imaginary parts of the electroweak dipole moment form factors of the top, d^γ(s) and d^{Z}(s). We give a numerical analysis of these asymmetries within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters. They turn out to be of order <= 10^{-3}.

Spin Effects in Neutralino Production in $e^+e^-$ Annihilation with polarized beams

We study the process e^+ e^- -> chi^0_1 chi^0_2 and the subsequent decay chi^0_2 -> chi^0_1 l^{+} l^{-}$ with polarized beams, including the complete spin correlations of chi^0_2$. We present numerical results for the lepton energy and angular distributions, and for the distribution of the opening angle between the leptons for sqrt{s}=500 GeV. The effects of spin correlations are important in the lepton angular distribution, especially for gaugino-like neutralinos. The opening angle distribution is particularly suitable for distinguishing between higgsino- and gaugino-like neutralinos. The polarized cross sections and lepton angular distributions are very sensitive to the mixing of the neutralinos.

Electroweak dipole moment form factors of the top quark in supersymmetry

The CP violating electric and weak dipole moment form factors of the top quark appear in the process $e^{+}e^{-} --> t\bar{t}$. We present a complete analysis of these dipole moment form factors within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters. We include gluino, chargino, and neutralino exchange in the loop of the $γt\bar{t}$ and $Z t\bar{t}$ vertex. We give the analytic expressions and present numerical results.

Gluino Cascade Decays With Broken R--Parity

We study the pattern of gluino cascade decays in a class of supersymmetric models where R-parity is spontaneously broken. The multi-lepton and same-sign dilepton rates in these models are compared with those of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We show that these rates can be substantially enhanced in models with broken R-parity.

SUSY induced CP violation in e+e- to t\bar{t}

The CP violating electric and weak dipole moment form factors of the top quark, $\dgs$ and $\dzs$, appear in the process \mbox{$e^{+}e^{-} \to t \bar{t}$}. We present a complete analysis of these dipole moment formfactors within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters.

We give analytic expressions and present numerical results for the asymmetries that measure these formfactors.

SUSY--QCD Corrections to Higgs Particle Decays into Quarks and Squarks

We study the decays of the Higgs bosons $H^{\pm}$, $H^0$, and $A^0$ within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. For decays into quarks and squarks we include the supersymmetric QCD radiative corrections. We find that the corrections are significant and can go up to 50%. The supersymmetric decay modes $H^+ \to \tilde t \bar{\tilde b}$ and $H^0 (A^0) \to \tilde t \bar{\tilde t}$ can be dominant in a wide range of the model parameters due to the large Yukawa couplings and mixings of $\tilde t$ and $\tilde b$.

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.

Determining the parameters of the Minimal Supergravity Model from 2l + E_T^{miss} + (jets) final states at LHC

We analyse the events with two same-flavour, opposite-sign leptons + $E_T^{miss}$ + (jets) as expected in pp collisions at LHC within the framework of the minimal Supergravity Model. The objective is the determination of the parameters m_0 and m_{1/2} of this model (for a given value of $\tanβ$). The signature $l^+ l^- + E_T^{miss}$ + (jets) selects the leptonic decays of $\tildeχ^0_2$, $\tildeχ^0_2 \to \tildeχ^0_1 l^+ l^- $, $\tildeχ^0_2 \to \tilde{l}_{L,R}^{\pm} l^{\mp} \to \tildeχ^0_1 l^+ l^-$. We exploit the fact that the invariant dilepton mass distribution has a pronounced structure with a sharp edge at the kinematical endpoint even in such an inclusive final state over a significant part of parameter space. We determine the domain of parameter space where the edge is expected to be visible. We show that a measurement of this edge already constrains the model parameters essentially to three lines in the ($m_0, m_{1/2}$) parameter plane. We work out a strategy to discriminate between the three-body leptonic decays of $\tildeχ^0_2$ and the decays into sleptons $\tilde{l}_{L,R}$. This procedure may make it possible to get information on SUSY particle masses already with low luminosity, L_{int}=10^3 pb^{-1}.

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.

Higgs Particle Decays in Supersymmetry

We present a detailed study of the decays of the Higgs bosons $H^+$, $H^0$, and $A^0$ within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model including SUSY--QCD corrections. We find that the supersymmetric modes $\tilde t \bar{\tilde b}$ ($\tilde t \bar{\tilde t}$, and for large $\tanβ$ $\tilde b \bar{\tilde b}$) can dominate the $H^+$ ($H^0$, $A^0$) decays in a wide range of the model parameters due to the large Yukawa couplings and mixings of $\tilde t$ and $\tilde b$. Compared to the conventional modes $H^+ \to τ^+ ν_τ, t \bar b$, and $H^0, A^0 \to t \bar t, b \bar b$, the supersymmetric modes can have an important impact on the Higgs boson searches at future colliders.

QCD corrections to Higgs boson decays into squarks in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

We calculate the supersymmetric QCD corrections in order $α_s$ to the the widths of the Higgs boson decays $H^+ \to \st \bar\sb$ and $H^0, A^0 \to \st \bar\st, \sb \bar\sb$ in the on--shell scheme within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We find that the QCD corrections are significant, but that the squark pair decay modes are still dominant in a wide parameter region.

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.
