D-Dbar mixing and new physics: general considerations and constraints on the MSSM

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v3

Abstract

Combining the recently available experimental evidence of D-Dbar mixing, we extract model-independent information on the mixing amplitude and on its CP-violating phase. Using this information, we present new constraints on the flavour structure of up-type squark mass matrices in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model.
