Flavor Changing Processes in Supersymmetric Models with Hybrid Gauge- and Gravity-Mediation

Abstract

We consider supersymmetric models where gauge mediation provides the dominant contributions to the soft supersymmetry breaking terms while gravity mediation provides sub-dominant yet non-negligible contributions. We further assume that the gravity-mediated contributions are subject to selection rules that follow from a Froggatt-Nielsen symmetry. This class of models constitutes an example of viable and natural non-minimally flavor violating models. The constraints from mixing in the neutral K system imply that the modifications to the Standard Model predictions for mixing in the neutral B_d and B_s systems are generically at most at the percent level, but can be of order ten percent for large $\tan \beta$. The modifications for the neutral D system mixing are generically at most of order a few percent, but in a special subclass of models they can be of order one. We point out $\Delta B=1$ processes relevant for flavor violation in hybrid mediation.
