pair production of scalar quarks in e+ e− annihilation within the MSSM with complex parameters We calculate the SUSY-QCD corrections to the cross section e+ e− → q˜i q¯˜ j (i, j = 1, 2) and show that the effect of the CP phases of these complex parameters on the cross section can be quite strong in a large region of the MSSM parameter space This could have important implications for squarks

currently best motivated extension of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics which allows to stabilize the gauge hierarchy without getting into conflict with electroweak precision data Among all possible supersymmetric theories, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) occupies a special position It is not only the simplest, i.e most economical, potentially realistic supersymmetric field theory, but it also has just the right particle content to allow for the unification of all gauge interactions The MSSM predicts the existence of scalar partners to all known quarks and leptons Each fermions has two spin zero partners called sfermions f˜L and f˜R , one for each chirality eigenstate: the mixing between f˜L and f˜R is proportional to the corresponding fermion The Abdus Salam

generation In particular, this model gives the possibility for one of the scalar partners of the top quark (t˜1 ) to be lighter than other scalar quarks and also than the top quark (Ellis and Rudaz, 1983) So far most phenomenological studies on supersymmetric (SUSY) particle searches have been performed in the MSSM with real SUSY parameters Studies of the 3rd generation sfermions are particularly interesting because of the effects of the large Yukawa couplings The lighter sfermion mass eigenstates may be relatively light and they could be thoroughly studied at an e− e+ linear collider (Accomando et al., 1998) An analysis of the QCD corrections to scalar quark pair production in e+ e− annihilation in the MSSM with real parameters was performed in (Arhrib et al., 1995; Eberl et al., 1996) The assumption that all SUSY parameters are real, however, may be too restrictive The higgsino mass parameter µ, the gaugino masses M˜ i and the trilinear scalar coupling parameters Af of the sfermions f˜ may be complex In the MSSM the complex parameters provide the CP violating phases Recently, a phenomenological study of τ -sleptons τ˜1,2 and τ -sneutrinos ν˜ τ has been presented (Bartl et al., 2002), and the effect of the CP phases on the t˜1,2 and b˜1,2 decays has been found (Bartl et al., 2003) in the MSSM with complex parameters Next, in (Thuy et al., 2004) the one loop vertex correction to the decay width of squark decays into W and Z bosons within the MSSM with complex parameters has been calculated and the numerical results are also performed In this article we study the effects of the phases of the complex parameters Aq on the cross sections of the process: e+ e− → q˜i q˜¯j We point out that these effects can be quite strong in a large region of the MSSM parameter space This could have an important impact on the search for squarks and the determination of the MSSM parameters at future colliders Our present study is an extension of the corresponding one in the MSSM with real parameters in (Arhrib et al., 1995; Eberl et al., 1996) DIAGONALIZATION OF MASS MATRICES We neglect generation mixing As pointed out in (Dugan et al., 1985; Christora and Fabbrichesi, 1993) only three terms in the supersymmetric Lagrangian can give rise to CP-violating phases which cannot be rotated away: The superpotential contains a complex coefficient µ in the term bilinear in the Higgs superfields The soft supersymmetry breaking operators introduce two further complex terms, the gaugino masses M˜ i and the left- and right-handed squark mixing term Aq In the MSSM one has two types of scalar quarks (squarks), q˜L and q˜R , corresponding to the left and right helicity states of a quark The mass matrix in the basis (q˜L , q˜R ) is given by Ellis and Rudaz (1983) M2q˜ =

the partner quark MQ˜ , Mu˜ , and MD˜ are soft SUSY breaking masses, and Aq are trilinear couplings According to eq (1) M2q˜ is diagonalized by a unitary matrix Rq˜ The weak eigenstates q˜L and q˜R

ϕq = arg(Aq ) The mass eigenvalues are given by m2q˜1,2 = m2q˜L + m2q˜R ∓ m2q˜L − m2q˜R + 4aq2 m2q (7) By convention, we choose q˜1 to be the lighter mass eigenstate For the mixing angle θq˜ we require ≤ θq˜ ≤ π We thus have cos θq˜ = −|aq |mq m2q˜L − m2q˜1 m2q˜L − m2q˜1 sin θq˜ = , + aq2 m2q m2q˜L − m2q˜1 (8) + aq2 m2q ˜ Qγ ˜ AND Q ˜Q ˜ Z COUPLINGS THE Q From the matrix we can find the

Fig we show the φ ≡ ϕq dependence of the σR0 /σC0 , δσR0 /δσC0 and the cases of real and complex paδσC /σC0 , with R and C indices corresponding to √ rameters respectively The input parameters are: s

it must be less than of order 10−2 –10−3 to avoid generating electric dipole moments for the neutron, electron, and atom in conflict with observed data (Review of Particle Physics, 1998) In the range

of t˜1 t¯˜1 or t˜2 t¯˜2 productions (Fig 4(a) and (b)) and is about from 100% to 99.5% and 100% for b˜1 b¯˜ and b˜2 b¯˜ productions (Fig 4(c) and (d)) The corrections δσC0 /σC0 are from −28.4% to −25%, from −38.8% to −36.5%, and from −45.5% to −42.5% for the t˜1 t¯˜1 , t˜2 t¯˜2 , b˜1 b¯˜ and b˜2 b¯˜ productions, respectively We have also computed δσR0 /δσC0 It is about from 99.5% to 96.5%, from 99.5% to 93%, from 100% to 99.5%, and from 100% to 93%, for the above mentioned processes, respectively CONCLUSIONS In this paper, we have calculated the QCD radiative corrections to the production of squarks in e+ e− collisions within the MSSM with complex parameters In particular, we focus on the CP phase dependence of the production cross sections for e+ e− → q˜i q¯˜ j From numerical results we have found that the effects of the phases on the cross sections can be quite significant in a large region of the MSSM parameter space This could have important implications for t˜i and b˜i searches at future colliders and the determination of the underlying MSSM parameters ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We are grateful to Prof G Belanger for suggesting the problem and for her valuable
