Description

A mechanism for double suppression of flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) and CP violating phases in supersymmetric models is suggested. At MSUSY they are suppressed due to a nonabelian discrete flavor symmetry, and the infrared attractive force of gauge interactions in extra dimensions are used to suppress them at the compactification scale. We present a concrete model, which is a simple extension of S3 invariant minimal supersymmetric standard model, where only SU(2)L and SU(3)C gauge multiplets are assumed to propagate in the bulk. We find that a disorder of 2 orders of magnitude in soft supersymmetry breaking parameters above the compactification scale may be allowed to satisfy experimental constraints on FCNC processes and CP violating phenomena
