The Effect of Supersymmetric CP Phases on qq-bar Annihilations

Abstract

We compute the rates for $q\bar{q}$ annihilation into charginos and neutralinos by taking into account the effects of supersymmetric soft phases. In particular, the phase of the $\mu$ parameter gains direct accessibility via the production of dissimilar charginos and neutralinos. The phases of the trilinear soft masses do not have a significant effect on the cross sections. Our results can be important for sparticle searches at the LHC.
