Impact of CP phases on SUSY particle production and decays

Abstract

We report on the results of a phenomenological study of top squarks (stop_{1,2}) and bottom squarks (sbottom_{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 the branching ratios of stop_{1,2} and sbottom_{1,2} decays. We find that the effect of the phases on the stop_{1,2} and sbottom_{1,2} decays can be quite significant in a large region of the MSSM parameter space. We also study a CP asymmetry in sfermion decays.
