Probing Flavor Structure in Supersymmetric Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the possibility of probing the supersymmetric flavor structure through the constraints of the K and B meson systems and those of the electric dipole moments. We show that combining these constraints would favor SUSY models with large flavor mixing either in LR(RL) or LL but with a very small RR and intermediate/large tan β. Large LR mixing requires specific patterns for trilinear A-terms, while LL mixing seems quite natural and easier to obtain. We present an example for this class of models and show how it can accommodate the current CP asymmetries experimental results.

Probing Lepton Flavor Violation at Future Colliders.
Supersymmetric theories with significant lepton flavor violation have ẽ and μ̃ nearly degenerate. In this case, pair production of ẽ+ẽ− and μ̃+μ̃− at LEPII and at the Next Linear Collider leads to the phenomenon of slepton oscillations, which is analogous to neutrino oscillations. The reach in ∆m2 and sin 2θ gives a probe of lepton flavor violation which is significantly more powerful than the cur...
متن کاملThe Supersymmetric Flavor Problem
The supersymmetric SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) theory with minimal particle content and general soft supersymmetry breaking terms has 110 physical parameters in its flavor sector: 30 masses, 39 real mixing angles and 41 phases. The absence of an experimental indication for the plethora of new parameters places severe constraints on theories posessing Planck or GUT-mass particles and suggests that theories...
متن کاملS-duality in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories
A solution to the infinite coupling problem for N = 2 conformal supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions is presented. The infinitely-coupled theories are argued to be interacting superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with weakly gauged flavor groups. Consistency checks of this proposal are found by examining some low-rank examples. As part of these checks, we show how to compute new ex...
متن کاملHorizontal Symmetries for the Supersymmetric Flavor Problem
The heaviness of the third family fermions and the experimental absence of large flavor-violating processes suggest, in supersymmetric theories, that the three families belong to a 2 + 1 representation of a horizontal symmetry GH . In this framework, we discuss a class of models, based on the group U(2), that describe the flavor structure of the fermion masses and are compatible with an underly...
متن کاملPhases and Cp Violation in Susy
We discuss CP violation in supersymmetric theories and show that CP phenomena can act as a probe of their origins, i.e., compactification and spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. CP violation as a probe of the flavor structure of supersymmetric theories is also discussed. A brief overview is given of several low energy phenomena where CP phases can produce new effects. These include important CP...
