Inparticle physics, thechargino is a hypothetical particle which refers to the masseigenstates of a chargedsuperpartner, i.e. any new electrically chargedfermion (withspin 1/2) predicted bysupersymmetry.[1][2] They arelinear combinations of the chargedwino and chargedhiggsinos. There are two charginos that are fermions and are electrically charged, which are typically labeled
C͂±
1 (the lightest) and
C͂±
2 (the heaviest), although sometimes and are also used to refer to charginos, when is used to refer toneutralinos. The heavier chargino can decay through the neutralZ boson to the lighter chargino. Both can decay through a charged W boson to a neutralino:
