A. Arhrib et al., Supersymmetric model contributions to B-d(0)-(B)over-bar(d)(0) mixing and B -> pi pi, rho gamma decays, EUR PHY J C, 21(3), 2001, pp. 567-575
Recent results from the Belle and BaBar Collaborations hint at a small sin2
phi1, while the measured B --> pi pi rate also seems to be on the low side
. Supersymmetric (SUSY) models with down squark mixings can account for the
deficits in both cases. By studying the origin of SUSY contributions that
could impact on B-d(0)-(B) over bar (0)(d) mixing and B --> pi pi decay, we
find that the former would most likely arise from loft-left or right-rig s
quark mixings, while the latter would come from left-right squark mixings.
These two processes in general are not much correlated in the minimum super
symmetric standard model. If the smallness of B --> pi pi is due to SUSY mo
dels, one would likely have a large B --> rho gamma from chiral enhancement
, and the rate could be within the present experimental reach. Even if B --
> rho gamma is not greatly enhanced, it could have large mixing dependent C
P violation.
