Supersymmetry beyond minimal flavour violation

Understand

We review the sources and phenomenology of non-minimal flavour violation in the MSSM.

• We discuss in some detail the most important theoretical and experimental constraints, as well as promising observables to look for supersymmetric effects at the LHC and in the future.
• We emphasize the sensitivity of flavour physics to the mechanism of supersymmetry breaking and to new degrees of freedom present at fundamental scales, such as the grand unification scale.
• We include a discussion of present data that may hint at departures from the Standard Model.
