Abstract

We study two CP sensitive triple-product asymmetries for neutralino production e+eχ̃i0χ̃j0 and the subsequent leptonic two-body decay χ̃i0l̃l, l̃χ̃10l, for l=e,μ,τ. We calculate the asymmetries, cross sections and branching ratios in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with complex parameters μ and M1. We present numerical results for the asymmetries to be expected at a linear electron-positron collider in the 500 GeV range. The asymmetries can go up to 25%. We estimate the event rates which are necessary to observe the asymmetries. Polarized electron and positron beams can significantly enhance the asymmetries and cross sections. In addition, we show how the two decay leptons can be distinguished by making use of their energy distributions.
