Supersymmetric flavor-changing sum rules as a tool forb→sγ

The search for supersymmetry and other classes of new physics will be tackled on two fronts, with high energy, direct detection machines, and in high-precision experiments searching for indirect signatures. While each of these methods has its own strengths, even more can be gained by finding ways to combine their results. In this paper, we examine one way of bridging these two types of experiments by calculating sum rules which link physical squark masses to the flavor-violating squark mixings. These sum rules are calculated for minimally flavor-violating supersymmetry theories at both high and low $\tan \beta$. We also explore how the sum rules could help to disentangle the relative strength of the gluino contributions to $b\to s\gamma$, a favored channel for indirect searches of new physics.
