The simplest interpretation of the global success of the Standard Model is that new physics decouples well above the electroweak scale. Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model offers the possibility of light chargino and the…
We determine the ability of future experiments to observe supersymmetric contributions to the rare decays $B \to X_s \gamma$ and $B \to X_s l^+l^-$. A global fit to the Wilson coefficients which contribute to these decays is performed from…
The weak decays of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda l^{+} l^{-}$ ($l=e, \mu$) are investigated in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and also in Supersymmetric (SUSY) SO(10) Grand Unified Models. In MSSM the special attention is paid to the…
The Minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) with light stops, charginos or pseudoscalar Higgs bosons has been suggested as an explanation of the too high value of the branching ratio of the Z0 boson into b quarks (Rb…
We reinvestigate the leading QCD corrections to the radiative decay $b \to s \gamma for supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. Although the major contributions to the corrections originate from the running of the effective…
We present upgraded theoretical predictions for inclusive and exclusive radiative decays of {\it B} mesons. Our results include those next-to-leading order corrections that have already been computed. Our best estimates in the Standard…
For a long time, the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with light masses for the supersymmetric states was considered as the most natural extension of the Standard Model of particle physics. Consequently, a valid approximation…
We study a class of generalized models of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB). We find the parameters and the full particle spectrum of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) for all GMSB models with messenger…
The $b \rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ process is studied in the minimal supergravity model in detail. Taking account of the long distance contributions from the $c\overline{c}$ resonances, we calculate the branching ratio and the lepton…
The determination of the most straightforward evidence for the existence of the Superworld requires a guide for non-experts (especially experimental physicists) for them to make their own judgement on the value of such predictions. For this…
We examine the phenomenological implications of light $\tilde{t}_R$ and higgsinos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, assuming $\tan^2 \beta < m_t / m_b$ and heavy $\tilde{t}_L$ and gauginos. In this simplified setting, we study…
The $Z^0 \to b\bar b$ width, $\Gamma_b$, is analysed in conjunction with the total and hadronic $Z^0$ widths, $\Gamma_T$ and $\Gamma_h$. Assuming, tentatively, that the present 2$\sigma$ discrepancy in $\Gamma_b$ will substantiate as time…
I stress the fact that a complete study of possible New Physics effects in the $Z \rightarrow b\bar{b}$ vertex requires a combined analysis of the ratio $R_b= \Gamma(Z \rightarrow b\bar{b})/ \Gamma(Z \rightarrow hadrons)$ and the…
The recent measurement of a_\mu =\frac{g_\mu -2}{2} by the E821 Collaboration at Brookhaven deviates from the quoted Standard Model (SM) central value prediction by 2.6\sigma. The difference between SM theory and experiment may be easily…
By applying generalized dimensional reduction on the type IIB supersymmetry variations, we derive the supersymmetry variations for the massive 9-dimensional supergravity. We use these variations and the ones for massive type IIA to derive…
We compute the supersymmetric contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon within the context of $SU(5)\times U(1)$ supergravity models. The largest possible contributions to $a^{susy}_\mu$ occur for the largest allowed values…
In a recently proposed extension of the Standard Model with a compact extra dimension of size R we compute the leading corrections, of relative order (m_t R)^2, to the Branching Ratio B -> X_s gamma. For 1/R = 370 \pm 80 GeV, the branching…
We study the impact of the measurements of three sets of observables on the parameter space of the constrained minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (cMSSM), its slightly general variant, the non-universal scalar model (NUSM), and some…
We study the effect of supersymmetric contributions to the effective quark transition $b\to s\gamma\gamma$, including leading order QCD effects. We apply the discussion to the decay $B_s\to\gamma\gamma$. Even though one-particle irreducible…
We present an overview of the loop corrections to the mass difference $\Delta m_{B_d^0}/ m_{B_d^0}$ within the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We include the complete mixing matrices of the charginos and neutralinos as well as of the…
