Chargino Production at a future LC in the MSSM with complex Parameters: NLO Corrections

Abstract

We calculate chargino production at a future linear collider, including full one-loop contributions in the MSSM with complex parameters. To achieve this, we require a comprehensive approach to renormalisation in the chargino and neutralino sector, for the case where parameters can be complex. Using the field renormalisation as developed in Refs. [1-3], we investigate the parameter renormalisation in the complex case. We also study the numerical role of the choice of renormalisation scheme as in Refs. [2-3]. Finally we present new results showing the effect of the phases on the resulting cross section at NLO.
