The FCNC top-squark decay as a probe of squark mixing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In supersymmetry (SUSY) the flavor mixing between top-squark (stop) and charm-squark (scharm) induces the flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) stop decay t̃1 → cχ̃1. Searching for this decay serves as a probe of soft SUSY breaking parameters. Focusing on the stop pair production followed by the FCNC decay of one stop and the charge-current decay of the other stop, we investigate the potential of detecting this FCNC stop decay at the Fermilab Tevatron, the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the next-generation ee linear collider (LC). We find that this decay may not be accessible at the Tevatron, but could be observable at the LHC and the LC with high sensitivity. 14.80.Ly, 11.30.Hv Typeset using REVTEX

Should Squarks Be Degenerate?
For generic squark masses, box diagrams with squarks and gluinos give unacceptably large contributions to neutral meson (K, B and D) mixing. The standard solution to this problem is to assume that squarks are degenerate to a very good approximation. We suggest an alternative mechanism to suppress squark contributions to flavor changing neutral currents: the alignment of quark with squark mass m...
متن کاملChargino Contributions in B → φK S CP Asymmetry
CP asymmetry in B → φKS decay is studied in a special context of supersymmetry theories, in which the charginos play an important role. We find that except gluino, chargino can also give large contributions to CP asymmetry in B → φKS decay. After considering the constraints from B → J/ψKS decay, we study three special scenarios: (a). Large mixing on left-handed charm and top squarks(LL mixing);...

متن کاملSgoldstino events in top decays at the LHC
We study top-quark decays in models with light sgoldstinos. The off-diagonal entries in the squark mass matrices can lead to FCNC top two-body decays into a sgold-stino and a c (or u) quark. We compute the rates for these decays and discuss the corresponding signatures that could manifest the presence of sgoldstinos in top decays at the LHC. We expect that a supersymmetry breaking parameter √ F...
