T Violation Induced by Supersymmetry in tt and W+W- Physics

Original · EN

T-odd correlations of polarizations and momenta provide a promising testing ground for new physics beyond the standard model. We estimate the contribution of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model to two such observables: in the production of tt, we look for a term proportional to Jₜ · (pq × pₜ)-where Jₜ is the polarization of the t quark and p q,ₜ are the momenta of the initial and final particles-and find that it is of the order of 10⁻¹ × (αₛ/π). In the production of W+W-, we look for a term proportional to EW · (pq × pW)(pq · EW)-where EW is the transverse polarization of W- to find that it can be as large as 10⁻¹ × (αw/π).
