Abstract

We consider the process e+e\tiχi+\tiχje^+e^-\to\ti\chi^+_i\ti\chi^-_j at a linear collider with transverse e±e^{\pm} beam polarization. We investigate the influence of the CP phases on azimuthal asymmetries in e+e\tiχi+\tiχje^+e^-\to\ti\chi^+_i\ti\chi^-_j with subsequent two-body decays \tiχj\tiν\ti\chi^-_j\to \ti\nu_{\ell}\ell^- and \tiχjW\tiχ10\ti\chi^-_j\to W^-\ti\chi^0_1. We show that triple product correlations involving the transverse e±e^{\pm} beam polarization vanish if at least one subsequent chargino decay is not observed. We derive this result within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with complex parameters, however, it holds also in the general MSSM with SUSY flavour violation.
