SUSY Contributions to R_b and Top Quark Decay

Abstract

Stop contributions to radiative corrections to R_b and the top quark decay are analysed over the relevant MSSM parameter space. One sees a 30 % increase in the former along with a similar drop in the latter in going from the higgsino dominated to the mixed region. Consequently one can get a viable SUSY contribution to R_b within the constraint of the top quark data only in the mixed region, corresponding to a photino dominated LSP. We discuss the phenomenological implications of this model for top quark decay and direct stop production, which can be tested with the Tevatron data.
