Supersymmetric ΔA_{CP}

Abstract

There is experimental evidence for a direct CP asymmetry in singly Cabibbo suppressed D decays, ΔA_{CP} \sim 0.006. Naive expectations are that the Standard Model contribution to ΔA_{CP} is an order of magnitude smaller. We explore the possibility that a major part of the symmetry comes from supersymmetric contributions. The leading candidates are models where the flavor structure of the trilinear scalar couplings is related to the structure of the Yukawa couplings via approximate flavor symmetries, particularly U(1), [U(1)]^2 and U(2). The recent hints for a lightest neutral Higgs boson with mass around 125 GeV support the requisite order one trilinear terms. The typical value of the supersymmetric contribution to the asymmetry is ΔA_{CP}^{SUSY}\sim 0.001, but it could be accidentally enhanced by order one coefficients.
