Correlations in Minimal U(2)^3 models and an SO(10) SUSY GUT model facing new data

Understand

Models with an approximate U(2)^3 flavour symmetry represent simple non-MFV extensions of the SM.

• We compare correlations of Delta F = 2 observables in CMFV and in a minimal version of U(2)^3 models, MU(2)^3, where only the minimal set of spurions for breaking the symmetry is used and where only SM operators are relevant.
• Due to the different treatment of the third generation MU(2)^3 models avoid the Delta M_{s,d}-|epsilon_K| correlation of CMFV which precludes to solve the S_{psi K_S}- |epsilon_K| tension present in the flavour data.
• While the flavour structure in K meson system is the same for CMFV and MU(2)^3 models, CP violation in B_{d,s} system can deviate in MU(2)^3 models from CMFV.
