Abstract

We study the quantum effects on vector-boson pair production in e+e- annihilation induced by the sleptons and squarks of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM) in the one-loop approximation. We list full analytic results, and quantitatively analyze the resulting deviation from the standard-model prediction of e+e- -> W+W- for the supergravity-inspired MSSM. The latter can be rendered small throughout the whole parameter space by an appropriate choice of renormalization scheme.
