Abstract

We explore supersymmetric contributions to the decay KS0μ+μK_S^0\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-, in light of current experimental data. The Standard Model (SM) predicts B(KS0μ+μ)5×1012\mathcal{B}(K_S^0\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-)\approx5\times 10^{-12}. We find that contributions arising from flavour violating Higgs penguins can enhance the branching fraction up to 35×1012\approx 35\times 10^{-12} within different scenarios of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), as well as suppress it down to 0.78×1012\approx 0.78\times 10^{-12}. Regions with fine-tuned parameters can bring the branching fraction up to the current experimental upper bound, 8×10108\times 10^{-10}. The mass degeneracy of the heavy Higgs bosons in MSSM induces correlations between B(KS0μ+μ)\mathcal{B}(K_S^0\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-) and B(KL0μ+μ)\mathcal{B}(K_L^0\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-). Predictions for the CPCP asymmetry in K0μ+μK^0\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^- decays in the context of MSSM are also given, and can be up to eight times bigger than in the SM.
