Exploring the flavour structure of the high-scale MSSM

Abstract

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 approximate flavour symmetries. We show that a set of six low-energy observables with realistic chances of improvement in the near future, namely ΔMs,d\Delta M_{s,d}, ϵK\epsilon_K, ϵK/ϵK\epsilon_K'/\epsilon_K, B(Kπννˉ)\mathcal{B} (K\to \pi\nu\bar\nu), and the phase of DD--Dˉ\bar D mixing, could play a very important role in charactering these frameworks in a regime of superpartner masses up to O(100)\mathcal{O}(100)~TeV. We show that these observables remain very interesting even in a long-term perspective, i.e.~even taking into account the direct mass reach of the most ambitious future high-energy colliders.
