CP asymmetries in scalar bottom quark decays
We propose CP asymmetries based on triple product correlations in the decays
sbottom_m -> top chargino_j with subsequent decays of top and chargino_j. For
the subsequent chargino_j decay into a leptonic final state l^- \nu
neutralino_1 we consider the three possible decay chains chargino_j -> l^-
sneutrino -> l^- \nu neutralino_1, chargino_j -> slepton_n \nu -> l^- \nu
neutralino_1 and chargino_j -> W^- neutralino_1 -> l^- \nu neutralino_1. We
consider two classes of CP asymmetries. In the first class it must be possible
to distinguish between different leptonic chargino_j decay chains, whereas in
the second class this is not necessary. We consider also the 2-body decay
chargino_j -> W^- neutralino_1, and we assume that the momentum of the W boson
can be measured. Our framework is the minimal supersymmetric standard model
with complex parameters. The proposed CP asymmetries are non-vanishing due to
non-zero phases for the parameters \mu and/or A_b. We present numerical results
and estimate the observability of these CP asymmetries.Comment: 27 page
CP-odd observables in neutralino production with transverse e+ and e- beam polarization
We consider neutralino production and decay e^+e^ --> chi^0_i chi^0_j,
chi^0_j --> chi^0_1 f \bar{f} at a linear collider with transverse e^+ and e^-
beam polarization. We propose CP asymmetries by means of the azimuthal
distribution of the produced neutralinos and of that of the final leptons,
while taking also into account the subsequent decays of the neutralinos. We
include the complete spin correlations between production and decay. Our
framework is the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters.
In a numerical study we show that there are good prospects to observe these CP
asymmetries at the International Linear Collider and estimate the accuracy
expected for the determination of the phases in the neutralino sector.Comment: 30 pages, minor changes in the introduction, references adde
Physics Possibilities at a Linear Collider

CP-violating asymmetries in top-quark production and decay in annihilation within the MSSM
We obtain analytic formulae for the cross section of the sequential processes
of and in the laboratory frame where the
dependence on triple product correlations of the type (\hat(q}_1 x \hat{q}_2 .
\hat{q}_3), induced by CP violation both in the production and the decay are
explicitely shown. Different observables sensitive to CP violation are defined
and calculated in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The
observables sensitive to CP violation are of the order of . The
dependence on the masses of the supersymmetric particles is also shown.Comment: 17 pages of LateX plus five uuencoded Postscript figures, LateX file
