Supersymmetric $b \rightarrow s \gamma$ with Large Chargino Contributions

Abstract

Supersymmetric (SUSY) theories are often thought to give large branching ratios for bsγb \rightarrow s \gamma from charged Higgs loops. We show that in many cases chargino loop contributions can cancel those of the Higgs, and SUSY can give B(bsγ)B(b \rightarrow s \gamma) at or below the \SM\ prediction. We show this occurs because the large stop mass splittings usually found in SUSY break a GIM mechanism suppression. These effects are strongly enhanced by large tanβ\tan\beta, so that B(bsγ)B(b \rightarrow s \gamma) is very sensitive to the value of tanβ\tan\beta, contrary to what has been claimed. We also note that the supergravity relation B0=A01B_0 = A_0-1 is somewhat disfavored over the general case.
