Abstract
At present, there are discrepancies between the measurements of several observables in BâÏK decays and the predictions of the Standard Model (the “BâÏK puzzle”). Although the effect is not yet statistically significant-it is at the level of â³3Ï-it does hint at the presence of new physics. In this Letter, we explore whether supersymmetry (SUSY) can explain the BâÏK puzzle. In particular, we consider the SUSY model of Grossman, Neubert and Kagan (GNK). We find that it is extremely unlikely that GNK explains the BâÏK data. We also find a similar conclusion in many other models of SUSY. And there are serious criticisms of the two SUSY models that do reproduce the BâÏK data. If the BâÏK puzzle remains, it could pose a problem for SUSY models.
