Abstract

We investigate the effect of general flavour mixing among squarks on the rare decays BˉXsγ\bar{B}\to X_s\gamma, Bˉsμ+μ\bar{B}_s\to\mu^+\mu^- and BˉsBs\bar{B}_s-B_s mixing beyond the leading order in perturbation theory. We include all large tanβ\tan\beta--enhanced corrections whilst also taking into account the effects of general flavour mixing on the uncorrected quark mass matrix and SU(2)L×U(1)Y{\rm SU}(2)_L\times{\rm U}(1)_Y breaking. For Bˉsμ+μ\bar{B}_s\to\mu^+\mu^- and BˉsBs\bar{B}_s-B_s mixing we find that, in analogy to BˉXsγ\bar{B}\to X_s\gamma, there appears a focusing effect which can reduce the contribution due to the δRR\delta_{RR} (and the δLL\delta_{LL}) insertion by up to a factor of two at large tanβ\tan\beta and μ>0\mu>0. A dependence on δLR\delta_{LR} and δRL\delta_{RL}, that otherwise cancels to first order in the mass insertion approximation, is also reintroduced. Taking into account the current experimental bounds on ΔMBs\Delta M_{B_s} and BR(Bˉsμ+μ\bar{B}_s\to\mu^+\mu^-), we find that the insertions δRL\delta_{RL} and δRR\delta_{RR} can be significantly constrained compared to bounds obtained from BˉXsγ\bar{B}\to X_s\gamma only.
