Abstract

We examine the parameter space of supersymmetric models with RR-parity violating interactions of the form λLQDc\lambda' L Q D^c to explain the various anomalies observed in bsb \rightarrow s \ell \ell transitions. To generate the appropriate operator in the low energy theory, we are led to a region of parameter space where loop contributions dominate. In particular, we concentrate on parameters for which diagrams involving winos, which have not been previously considered, give large contributions. Many different potentially constraining processes are analyzed, including τμμμ\tau \rightarrow \mu \mu \mu, BsBˉsB_s-\bar{B}_s mixing, BK()ννˉB \rightarrow K^{(*)} \nu \bar{\nu}, ZZ decays to charged leptons, and direct LHC searches. We find that it is possible to explain the anomalies, but it requires large values of λ\lambda', which lead to relatively low Landau poles.
