In SUSY models, it is still possible to have large signals even if the current data on $K$ and $B$ systems are consistent with the CKM paradigm for flavor mixing and CP violation. I first discuss $b\to d$ and $b\to s$ transitions including…
It is pointed out that there is a strong correlation between the neutralino dark matter scattering cross section $\sigma_{\tilde{\chi} p}$ and the branching ratio for $B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ within minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) and its…
In this talk, I briefly review a selection of SUSY effects in B physics. First, I consider models with Minimal Flavour Violation. Then I discuss SUSY models with new sources of flavour violation in squark mass matrices, analyzing present…
Effects of supersymmetric particles on flavor changing neutral current and lepton flavor violating processes are studied in the supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory with right-handed neutrino supermultiplets. Using input parameters…
We perform a comparative study of the neutralino dark matter scattering on nucleon in three popular supersymmetric models: the minimal (MSSM), the next-to-minimal (NMSSM) and the nearly minimal (nMSSM). First, we give the predictions of the…
A possibility of explaining the anomalies in the semileptonic $B$-meson decay $B \to K^{*} \mu \bar\mu$ has been explored in the framework of the gauged $U(1)_{\mu-\tau}$ symmetry. Apart from the muon anomalous magnetic moment and neutrino…
The present unitarity triangle fit, whose essential input is represented by the s to d and b to d transition processes, fully agrees with the SM. However, most of the phenomena involving b to s transitions are still largely unexplored and…
We study the implications on flavor changing neutral current and CP violating processes in the context of supersymmetric theories without a new flavor structure (flavor blind supersymmetry). The low energy parameters are determined by the…
A review is given of recent developments in the physics of flavor. Current constraints on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix are discussed and related to the recent measurements of epsilon'/epsilon, sin(2beta) and K+ -> pi+ nu nubar. A…
We investigate flavor physics at present and future B factories in order to distinguish supersymmetric models. We evaluate CP asymmetries in various B decay modes, Delta M(Bd), Delta M(Bs), and epsilon_K in three supersymmetric models, i.e.…
We study effects of supersymmetric particles in various rare B decay processes as well as in the unitarity triangle analysis. We consider three different supersymmetric models, the minimal supergravity, SU(5) SUSY GUT with right-handed…
Recent development in exploring flavour dynamics in the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model is reviewed. Emphasis is put on possible interesting effects in b-physics arising for large values of tan beta both in the case of…
Transitions of the type $b \to s l^+ l^-$ are flavour changing neutral current processes where new physics can enter in competing loop diagrams with respect to the Standard Model contributions. In these decays several observables sensitive…
The possible role of supersymmetry in our understanding of big bang baryogenesis and cosmological dark matter is explored. The discussion will be limited to the out-of equilibrium decay scenario in SUSY GUTs, the decay of scalar…
If the mechanism of Supersymmetry breaking is not flavour blind, some flavour symmetry is likely to be needed to prevent excessive flavour changing neutral current effects. We discuss two flavour models (based respectively on a U(2) and on…
Motivated by the recent anomalies in $b\rightarrow s$ transitions that emerged at LHCb, we consider a model with an $L_\mu - L_\tau$ gauge symmetry and additional vector-like fermions. We find that by introducing supersymmetry the model can…
The standard model (SM) of particle physics is for the last three decades a very successful description of the properties and interactions of all known elementary particles. Currently, it is again probed with the first collisions at the…
We use the approximate SU(3) flavor symmetry of the strong interaction to put bounds on the CP asymmetries in $b \to s$ decays of the $B^0_d$ and $B^+_u$ mesons. We extend the work of \cite{Grossman:2003qp} to include all relevant $B \to…
We study the contribution of the gluino-squark mediated flavor changing process for the CP violation in $b\to s$ and $b\to d$ transitions facing on recent experimental data. The mass insertion parameters of squarks are constrained by the…
Complex flavour couplings (off-diagonal mass terms) in the squark sector of supersymmetric theories may drastically alter both the rate and the CP-violating asymmetry of certain B-meson decays. We consider the effects of couplings that…
