Abstract

We analyse the predictions for the inclusive branching ratio for bsγb\to s\gamma decay in a class of string-inspired SUSY models with non-universal soft-breaking A-terms. These models are particularly interesting since the non-universality of the A-terms plays an important role in providing new significant contributions to CP violation effects in kaon physics while respecting the severe bounds on electric dipole moments. We show that bsγb\to s\gamma do not severely constrain the non-universality of these models. In particular, at low tanβ\tan\beta (tanβ2)(\tan\beta\simeq 2), our predictions are close to the universal case. For large tanβ\tan\beta (tanβ\gsim15\tan\beta \gsim 15),the effect of non-universality is enhanced and stronger constraints hold. We find that the parameter regions which are important for generating sizeable contribution to ϵ/ϵ\epsilon'/\epsilon, of order 2×1032 \times 10^{-3}, are not excluded.
