Abstract
We study the helicity amplitudes of the process
at high energy, which
in the standard and SUSY models first arise at the
one-loop order. In the standard model (SM), the diagrams involve
W, charged-quark, and lepton loops, while in SUSY, we also have
contributions from chargino-, charged-sfermion, and Higgs-loop
diagrams. The SUSY contributions are most important in the region
above the threshold for producing the supersymmetric
partners; there, they interfere most effectively with
the primarily imaginary SM amplitudes. Simple expressions for
the relevant one-loop functions are given which provide a
direct overview of the behaviour of the helicity amplitudes
in the whole parameter space at high energies.
The various characteristics of a large set of
observables are studied in detail.
