$b \to s \gamma$ Decay and Supersymmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v2

Abstract

The inclusive radiative BB-decay is a sensitive probe of new physics, especially if related to the virtual exchange of a charged Higgs boson. Supersymmetric models provide a particularly interesting example. In the limit of exact supersymmetry, BR(bsγb \to s\gamma)~=~0, due to the vanishing of any magnetic-moment transition operator. We illustrate the impact of this constraint for realistic values of the supersymmetry-breaking parameters.
