Abstract

In the framework of MSSM the probability of Z0Z^0-boson decay to charginos in a strong electromagnetic field, Z0χ+χZ^0\rightarrow \chi ^{+} \chi ^{-}, is analyzed. The method of calculations employs exact solutions of relativistic wave equations for charginos in a crossed electromagnetic field. Analytic expression for the decay width Γ(Z0χ+χ)\Gamma(Z^{0}\rightarrow \chi ^{+} \chi ^{-}) is obtained at an arbitrary value of the parameter ϰ=emZ3(Fμνqν)2\varkappa=e m_Z^{-3}\sqrt{-(F_{\mu\nu}q^\nu)^2}, which characterizes the external-field strength FμνF_{\mu\nu} and Z0Z^0-boson momentum qνq^{\nu}. The process Z0χ+χZ^0\rightarrow \chi ^{+} \chi ^{-} is forbidden in vacuum for the case of relatively heavy charginos: Mχ±>mZ/2M_{\chi^{\pm}} > m_Z/2. However in an intense electromagnetic background this reaction could take place in the region of superstrong fields (ϰ>1\varkappa > 1).
