LHC/ILC Interplay in SUSY Searches
Combined analyses at the Large Hadron Collider and at the International
Linear Collider are important to reveal precisely the new physics model as, for
instance, supersymmetry. Examples are presented where ILC results as input for
LHC analyses could be crucial for the identification of signals as well as of
the underlying model. The synergy of both colliders leads also to rather
accurate SUSY parameter determination and powerful mass constraints even if the
scalar particles have masses in the multi-TeV range.Comment: 5 pages, contribution to the proceedings of EPS0
The Challenge of Determining SUSY Parameters in Focus-Point-Inspired Cases
We discuss the potential of combined LHC and ILC experiments for SUSY
searches in a difficult region of the parameter space, in which all sfermion
masses are above the TeV scale. Precision analyses of cross sections of light
chargino production and forward--backward asymmetries of decay leptons and
hadrons at the ILC, together with mass information on \tilde{\chi}^0_2 and
squarks from the LHC, allow us to fit rather precisely the underlying
fundamental gaugino/higgsino MSSM parameters and to constrain the masses of the
heavy virtual sparticles. For such analyses the complete spin correlations
between the production and decay processes have to be taken into account. We
also took into account expected experimental uncertainties.Comment: 4 pages, talk given at XLI Rencontres de Moriond on Electroweak

CP asymmetries in chargino production and decay: the three-body decay case
We study CP violation in chargino production and decay in the Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with complex parameters at an e^+ e^-
linear collider with longitudinally polarized beams. We investigate
CP-sensitive asymmetries by means of triple product correlations and study
their dependence on the complex parameters M_1 and mu. We give numerical
predictions for the asymmetries and their measurability at the future
International Linear Collider. Our results show that the CP asymmetries can be
measured in a large region of the MSSM parameter space.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX, 8 figures; v2: structural changes and references

Normal tau polarisation as a sensitive probe of CP violation in chargino decay
CP violation in the spin-spin correlations in chargino production and
subsequent two-body decay into a tau and a tau-sneutrino is studied at the ILC.
From the normal polarisation of the tau, an asymmetry is defined to test the
CP-violating phase of the higgsino mass parameter \mu. Asymmetries of more than
\pm70% are obtained, also in scenarios with heavy first and second generation
sfermions. Bounds on the statistical significances of the CP asymmetries are
estimated. As a result, the normal tau polarisation in the chargino decay is
one of the most sensitive probes to constrain or measure the phase \phi_\mu at
the ILC, motivating further detailed experimental studies.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, gzipped tar fil
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
How light can the lightest neutralino be?
In this talk we summarize previous work on mass bounds of a light neutralino
in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We show that without the GUT
relation between the gaugino mass parameters M_1 and M_2, the mass of the
lightest neutralino is essentially unconstrained by collider bounds and
precision observables. We conclude by considering also the astrophysics and
cosmology of a light neutralino.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the 16th
