We study CP-violating effects in neutralino production and subsequent decay within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters M_1 and mu. The observable we propose is a T-odd asymmetry based on a triple product in…
We study the angular distribution of the charged lepton in the top-quark decay into a bottom quark and a W boson which subsequently decays into \ell\nu_{\ell}, when a hard gluon is radiated off. The absorptive part of the t \to bWg decay…
We study T-violating triple-product asymmetries in the quark-level decay b -> s u u(bar) within the standard model (SM). We find that only two types of triple products are non-negligible. The asymmetry in p_u . [s_u x s_u(bar)] or p_u(bar)…
In supersymmetric theories, the top quark can decay into its scalar partner plus a neutralino, with an appreciable rate. We calculate the $O(\alpha_s)$ QCD corrections to this decay mode in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the…
We calculate the Yukawa corrections of order ${\cal O}(\alpha_{ew}m_{t(b)}^2/m_W^2)$, ${\cal O}(\alpha_{ew}m_{t(b)}^3/m_W^3)$ and ${\cal O}(\alpha_{ew}m_{t(b)}^4/m_W^4)$ to the widths of the decays $\tilde t_2\to \tilde t_1 + (h^0,H^0,A^0)$…
We define a CP sensitive asymmetry in the sfermion decays $\ti f \to f \ti\chi^0_j \ell \bar \ell, f \ti\chi^0_j q \bar q$, based on triple product correlations between the momenta of the outgoing fermions. We study this asymmetry in the…
We study Lambda_b --> Lambda pi pi. The branching fraction is predicted to be about 4.38 x 10^{-6}%. Within the standard model, we compute T-odd triple product asymmetries to be about 1.4, 4.3, 6.5 and 7.2% respectively due to…
Current searches for the top squark mostly focus on the decay channels of $\tilde{t}_1 \rightarrow t \chi_1^0$ or $\tilde{t}_1 \rightarrow b \chi_1^\pm \rightarrow bW \chi_1^0$, leading to $tt/bbWW+\not\mathrel{E}_T$ final states for top…
We identify the $T$-odd structure functions that appear in the description of polarized top quark decays in the sequential decay $t(\uparrow) \to X_b+W^+(\to \ell^+ + \nu_\ell)$ (two structure functions) and the quasi-three-body decay…
We investigate the fermionic decays of top squarks tilde t_{1,2} and bottom squarks tilde b_{1,2}$ in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters M_1, mu, A_t and A_b . In the analysis we particularly take into account…
The asymmetries ${\cal A}_k \equiv [\Gamma(\twddec) -\Gamma(\tbwddec)] /[\Gamma(\twddec) + \Gamma(\tbwddec)]$ in the partial widths of the top quark decays are discussed within the Standard Model (SM), the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) and…
We analyze the two decays $\thb$, $\tstn$ within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with radiative breaking of the electroweak sector. We discuss their detectability at present and in the eventuality that supersymmetry is not…
We investigated the electroweak corrections from one-loop diagrams involving the third generation (s)quarks to the decay width of process $\tilde{\chi}_1^+ \to W^+ \tilde{\chi}_1^{0}$ in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard…
We discuss a potential of studying the production and the decay of the lightest top squark (t-tilde_1) in the framework of the supersymmetric standard model at a future e^+e^- collider. In particular, we consider the process t-tilde_1 -> t…
A decay rate asymmetry of the top quark is discussed within the framework of the supersymmetric standard model. Although new sources of CP violation in this model are severely constrained from the electric dipole moments of the neutron and…
We revisit the effect of CP violating anomalous top-quark couplings in $t\bar{t}$ production and decay. We consider $t\bar{t}$ production through gluon fusion (and light $q{\bar q}$ annihilation) followed by top-quark decay into $bW$ or…
A four generation supersymmetric model is proposed, in which the Tevatron ``top-quark'' events are reinterpreted as the production of $t^\prime$ which decays dominantly to $bW^+$. In this model, $m_t\simeq m_W$, and $t\rta\widetilde…
We present a phenomenological study of top squarks (~t_1,2) and bottom squarks (~b_1,2) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with complex parameters A_t, A_b, \mu and M_1. In particular we focus on the CP phase dependence of…
We compute the supersymmetric QCD corrections to the decay distribution of polarized top quarks for the semileptonic decay mode $t(\uparrow)\to b l^+\nu_l$. As a byproduct, we reinvestigate the SUSY-QCD corrections to the total decay width…
We discuss a decay rate asymmetry of the top squark, which is induced by a new source of CP violation intrinsic in the supersymmetric standard model. Although new sources of CP violation in this model are severely constrained from the…
