Flavour violating squark and gluino decays

Understand

We consider scenarios with large flavour violating entries in the squark mass matrices focusing on the mixing between second and third generation squarks.

• These entries govern both, flavour violating low energy observables on the one hand and squark and gluino decays on the other hand.
• We first discuss the constraints on the parameter space due to the recent data on B mesons from the B factories and Tevatron.
• We then consider flavour violating squark and gluino decays and show that they can still be typically of order 10% despite the stringent constraints from low energy data.
