Effects of Flavor Violation on Split Supersymmetry

Abstract

We discuss consequences of flavor mixings in the scalar fermion sector of supersymmetric models endowed with ultra heavy scalars. We find that, under extreme fine-tunings different than but similar in size to that needed to obtain a light Higgs doublet, intergenerational mixings generically lead to light sfermion states which facilitate a number of phenomena ranging from rare processes to electric dipole moments. The number of scalar fermions to be discovered by collider searches is fewer than those in a complete supersymmetric model.
