Large {delta}I =(3/2) Contribution to {epsilon}{sup '}/{epsilon} in Supersymmetry

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
We show that in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model gluino box diagrams can yield a large CP -violating {delta}I=(3/ 2) contribution to s{yields}dq(bar sign)q flavor-changing neutral current processes, which feeds into the I=2 isospin amplitude in K{yields}{pi}{pi} decays. This contribution requires only moderate mass splitting between the right-handed squarks u(tilde sign){sub R} and d(tilde sign){sub R} , and persists for squark masses of order 1 TeV. Taking into account current bounds from K-K(bar sign) mixing, the resulting contribution to {epsilon}{sup '}/{epsilon} could naturally be an order of magnitude larger than the measured value.
