Flavour non-conservation in goldstino interactions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We point out that the interactions of goldstinos with matter supermultiplets are a potential source of flavour violation, if fermion and sfermion mass matrices are not aligned and supersymmetry is spontaneously broken at a low scale. We study the impact of those couplings on low-energy processes such as \mu \to e \gamma, \mu \to eee, K \to \mu^+ \mu^-, K-\ov{K} transitions and analogous ones. Moreover, we address the issue of flavour violation in low-energy processes involving two goldstinos and two matter fermions, generalizing earlier results obtained in the flavour-conserving case.
