CP violation in semi-leptonic decays of the top quark within MSSM

Abstract

We calculate the CP-violating effects in the top quark semi-leptonic three body decays induced by the supersymmetric CP-odd phase of the top squark trilinear soft breaking term $\arg (A_t)$. The light top squark mass is assumed to be close to the top quark mass $m_{\tilde{t}}\sim m_t$. The CP-conserving phase is provided by the ${\chi }^{+}$ and ${\chi }^0$ cut. We find that the partial rate asymmetry is in the 0.1% level. In the most favorable parameter region the decay rate asymmetr can reach up to 0.55%.
