SUSY_FLAVOR: A computational tool for FCNC and CP-violating processes in the MSSM

We present SUSY FLAVOR version 2 — a Fortran 77 program that calculates low-energy flavor observables in the general R-parity conserving MSSM. For a set of MSSM parameters as input, the code gives predictions for: 1. Electric dipole moments of the leptons and the neutron. 2. Anomalous magnetic moments (i.e. g − 2) of the leptons. 3. Radiative lepton decays (μ → eγ and τ → μγ, eγ). 4. Rare Kaon decays (K0 L → π0ν̄ν and K+ → π+ν̄ν). 5. Leptonic B decays (Bs,d → l+l−, B → τν and B → Dτν). 6. Radiative B decays (B → X̄sγ). 7. ∆F = 2 processes (K̄0–K0, D̄–D, B̄d–Bd and B̄s–Bs mixing). Comparing to SUSY FLAVOR v1, where the matching conditions were calculated strictly at one-loop level, SUSY FLAVOR v2 performs the resummation of all chirally enhanced corrections, i.e. takes into account the enhanced effects from tan β and/or large trilinear soft mixing terms to all orders in perturbation theory. Also, in SUSY FLAVOR v2 new routines calculating of B → (D)τν, g− 2, radiative lepton decays and Br(l → lγ) were added. All calculations are done using exact diagonalization of the sfermion mass matrices. The program can be obtained from http://www.fuw.edu.pl/susy flavor.

Warped penguin diagrams

We present an analysis of the loop-induced magnetic dipole operator in the RandallSundrum model of a warped extra dimension with anarchic bulk fermions and an IR brane-localized Higgs. These operators are finite at one-loop order and we explicitly calculate the branching ratio for μ → eγ using the mixed position/momentum space formalism. The particular bound on the anarchic Yukawa and Kaluza-Klein (KK) scales can depend on the flavor structure of the anarchic matrices. It is possible for a generic model to either be ruled out or unaffected by these bounds without any fine tuning. We quantify how these models realize this surprising behavior. We also review tree-level lepton flavor bounds in these models and show that these are are in mild tension with the μ→ eγ bounds from typical models with a 3 TeV Kaluza-Klein scale. Further, we illuminate the nature of the one-loop finiteness of these diagrams and show how to accurately determine the degree of divergence of a five-dimensional loop diagram using both the five-dimensional and KK formalism. This power counting can be obfuscated in the four-dimensional Kaluza-Klein formalism and we explicitly point out subtleties that ensure that the two formalisms agree. Finally, we remark on the existence of a perturbative regime in which these one-loop results give the dominant contribution. ar X iv :1 00 4. 20 37 v3 [ he pph ] 5 J an 2 01 2

, through renormalization group mixing. Further, unlike the Randall-Sundrum result for μ → eγ, the unprimed Wilson coefficients receive non-negligible contributions from the misalignment of the bulk fermion spectrum with the Standard Model flavor sector. We compare the size of effects and the constraints imposed by the branching ratios Br(B → Xsγ) and 〈Br(B → Xdγ)〉 within the minimal and the custodial model. Within the custodial framework, we study the effect on a number of benchmark observables and find that Br(B → Xsμ+μ−) and the forward-backward asymmetry in B → K*μ+μ− remain close to their Standard Model predictions. On the other hand, there can be large enhancements of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B → K*γ and the transverse asymmetry
