Abstract

We analyze the supersymmetric contributions to direct-CP-violating observables in KππγK \to \pi\pi\gamma decays induced by gluino-mediated magnetic-penguin operators. We find that \epsp+γ\epsp_{+-\gamma} and the differential width asymmetry of K±π±π0γK^\pm \to \pi^\pm \pi^0 \gamma decays could be substantially enhanced with respect to their Standard Model values, especially in the scenario where \epsp/\eps\epsp/\eps is dominated by supersymmetric contributions. These observables could therefore provide a useful tool to search for New Physics effects in ΔS=1|\Delta S|=1 transitions, complementary to \epsp/\eps\epsp/\eps and rare decays.
