After a short introduction to the SUSY flavour problem, we focus the attention on the MSSM with MFV and large $\tan\beta$. The theoretical motivations and the general features of this scenario are briefly reviewed. The possible signatures…
The MSSM with large tan(beta) and heavy squarks is a theoretically well motivated and phenomenologically interesting extension of the SM. This scenario naturally accommodates the (g-2)_\mu anomaly and the upper bound on the Higgs boson…
We investigate the MSSM with very large tan(beta) > 50, where the fermion masses are strongly affected by loop-induced couplings to the "wrong" Higgs, imposing perturbative Yukawa couplings and constraints from flavour physics. Performing a…
We analyse scalar flavour-changing neutral currents of down-type quarks in models with two Higgs doublets, coupled separately to up- and down-type quarks, in the limit where the ratio of the two expectation values ($\tan \beta = v_u/v_d$)…
We present an effective Lagrangian formalism for the calculation of flavour changing neutral and charged scalar currents in weak decays including $SU(2)\times U(1)$ symmetry breaking effects and the effects of the electroweak couplings…
Recently it has been understood that flavor-changing processes mediated by Higgs bosons could be a new and powerful tool for discovering supersymmetry. In this paper we show that they may also provide an important method for constraining…
We analyse the $B \rightarrow \tau \nu$ decay in a generic two-Higgs doublet model satisfying the MFV hypothesis. In particular, we analyse under which conditions $\BR(B \rightarrow \tau \nu)$ can be substantially enhanced over its SM…
Considering the MSSM with the CKM matrix as the only source of flavour violation and heavy supersymmetric particles at large $\tan\beta$, we analyze the correlation between {\it the increase} of the rates of the decays $B^0_{s,d}\to…
In this letter we demonstrate a new source for large flavor-changing neutral currents within the minimal supersymmetric standard model. At moderate to large tan(beta), it is no longer possible to diagonalize the masses of the quarks in the…
A systematic analysis of Higgs-mediated contributions to the Bd and Bs mass differences is presented in the MSSM with large values of tan(beta). In particular, supersymmetric corrections to Higgs self-interactions are seen to modify the…
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…
We analyse a minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) taking a minimal flavour violation (MFV) structure at the GUT scale. We evaluate the parameters at the electroweak scale taking into account the full flavour structure in the…
The decay $b\to s\nu\bar{\nu}$ is discussed in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with general flavor mixing for squarks, at large $\tan\beta$. In this case, in addition to the chargino loop contributions which were analyzed in…
Higgs singlet superfields are usually present in most extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) that address the mu-problem, such as the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) and the Minimal Nonminimal…
We extend our previous analysis of the decays B_{d,s} -> mu^+ mu^- in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) to include gluino and neutralino contributions. We provide analytic formulae, valid at large values of tan(beta), for the…
We study the implications of the recent LHCb limit and results on Bs -> mu+mu- and B -> K* mu+mu- observables in the constrained SUSY scenarios. After discussing the Standard Model predictions and carefully estimating the theoretical…
Within the $\nu$MSSM, a Minimal Supersymmetric neutrino See-saw Model, Lepton Flavour Violating Higgs couplings are strongly enhanced at large $\tan\beta$ ($\gsim30$), which can lead to BR$(H^0/A^0 \to \tau\mu) \simeq O(10^{-4})$, for…
We match the Higgs sector of the most general flavour breaking and CP violating minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) onto a generic two-Higgs-doublet model, paying special attention to the definition of tan beta in the effective…
We present an analysis of non-leptonic B decays in the minimally flavour-violating MSSM with large tan(beta). We relate the Wilson coefficients of the relevant hadronic scalar operators to leptonic observables, showing that the present…
We analyse the sensitivity of quark flavour-changing observables to the MSSM, in a regime of heavy superpartner masses. We analyse four distinct and motivated frameworks characterising the structure of the soft-breaking terms by means of…
