Westudyflavor-changingdecaysofhadronsandleptonsinsupersymmetric grand
unified theories with universal soft-breaking terms at the Planck scale. Specifi-
cally,westudyanSO(10)modelwithaflavorstructuremotivatedbytheobserved
large atmospheric mixing angle.
In such models, the large top Yukawa coupling leads to a predictive pattern
of flavor violation among the sfermion mass matrices both in the slepton and
squark sectors. The steps taken are the following.
• We perform the first study of this model utilizing a full renormalization-
group analysis to relate Planck-scale parameters to weak-scale parameters.
This allows us to impose constraints from direct searches and vacuum sta-
bility. We provide a prescription to compute the relevant weak-scale pa-
rameters from a few weak-scale inputs.
¯• We compute and discuss the effective Lagrangians for B−B mixing, for
B →φK for τ →µγ decay.d S
¯• AdetailednumericalstudyofB −B -mixingandBR(τ →µγ )allowsustos s
assess the best way to search for signals of, and possibly falsify, this model.
• Asaby-productofourcomputation,wecomputethefullone-looprenormal-
ization-group equations in matrix form of the most general renormalizable
SUSY-SO(10) couplings of the matter fields.
¯We find that in B −B mixing, a significant (about a factor of four), but nots s
anorder-of-magnitudeenhancement ofthe standard modelprediction is possible.
For τ → µγ on the other hand, we find large signals close or even above the
experimental upper bound, so that in fact non-observation of this decay already
exludes part of the otherwise allowed parameter space.
