Supersymmetric effects in top quark decay into polarizedWboson

Abstract
We investigate the one-loop supersymmetric QCD (SUSY-QCD) and electroweak (SUSY-EW) corrections to the top quark decay into a b quark and a longitudinal or transverse W boson. The corrections are presented in terms of the longitudinal ratio Γ(tWLb)/Γ(tWb) and the transverse ratio Γ(tWb)/Γ(tWb). In most of the parameter space, both SUSY-QCD and SUSY-EW corrections to these ratios are found to be less than 1% in magnitude and they tend to have opposite signs. The corrections to the total width Γ(tWb) are also presented for comparison with the existing results in the literature. We find that our SUSY-EW corrections to the total width differ significantly from previous studies: the previous studies give a large correction of more than 10% in magnitude for a large part of the parameter space while our results reach only few percent at most.
