CP Violation in Pseudo-Dirac Fermion Oscillations

Supersymmetric theories with a $U(1)_R$ symmetry have Dirac gauginos, solve the supersymmetric flavor and CP problems, and have distinctive collider signatures. However when supergravity is included, the $U(1)_R$ must be broken, adding small Majorana mass terms which split the mass of the two components of the Dirac gaugino and lead to oscillations between $U(1)_R$ charge eigenstates. We present a general study of fermion-antifermion oscillations in this system, including the effects of decays and CP violation. We consider the effects of such oscillations in the case where the two $U(1)_R$ charge eigenstates can decay into the same final state, and show that $O(1)$ CP violation is allowed. In the case of decays into final states containing leptons such CP violation can be observed as a same sign dilepton asymmetry.
