Triple product correlations in top squark decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v3

Abstract

We propose several T-odd asymmetries in the decay chains of the top squarks t~mtχ~k0\tilde t_m \to t \tilde \chi^0_k and tbW+blνt\to bW^+\to bl\nu and χ~k0l±l~nl±lχ~10\tilde\chi^0_k \to l^\pm\tilde l_n^\mp \to l^\pm l^\mp\tilde\chi^0_1, for l=e,μ,τl =e,\mu,\tau. We calculate the asymmetries within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters M1M_1, μ\mu and AtA_t. We give the analytic formulae for the decay distributions. We present numerical results for the asymmetries and estimate the event rates necessary to observe them. The largest T-odd asymmetry can be as large as 40%.
