Abstract

Within Supersymmetric Grand Unified theories with soft breaking terms arising at the Planck scale, it is generally possible to link Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) and CP violating processes occurring in the leptonic and hadronic sectors. So, a correlated analysis of low-energy observables in the leptonic and hadronic sectors, can provide indications of the existence of a Grand Unified theory at high energies. We show how bounds on leptonic FCNC involving the third generation translate into constraints on FCNC B decays. Moreover, we show that, besides FCNC transitions, also lepton-flavor (LF) universality tests in Mℓ2 decays (with M=π,K,B), offer a unique opportunity to study the flavour structure of physics beyond the SM.
