Constraints on Light Bottom Squarks from Radiative B-Meson Decays

Creators

Description

The presence of a light ∼b squark (m#tilde b# ∼ 4 GeV) and gluino (m#tilde g# ∼ 15 GeV) might explain the observed excess in b-quark production at the Tevatron. Though provocative, this model is not excluded by present data. The light supersymmetric particles can induce large flavor-changing effects in radiative decays of B mesons. We analyze the decays B → Xsγ and B → Xsg in this scenario and derive restrictive bounds on the flavor-changing quark-squark-gluino couplings
