Production of stop, sbottom, and stau at LEP2

  • Published:

Abstract

We present a comprehensive study of pair production and decay of stops, sbottoms, and staus in e+e annihilation at LEP2. We give numerical predictions within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model for cross sections and decay rates, and discuss the important signatures. In the case of stau production we also study the polarization of the τ in the decays \({\tilde \tau}_{1}\rightarrow \tau \ {\tilde \chi}_{1,2}^{0}\).
