$B^0_{d,s}\to μ^-μ^+$ in the MSSM

Abstract

We present the results of the complete one-loop computation of the $B^0_{d,s}\to l^+l^-$ decay rate in the MSSM. Both sources of the FCNC, the CKM matrix and off-diagonal entries of the sfermion mass matrices are considered. Strong enhancement of the branching ratio (compared to the SM prediction) can be obtained in the large $\tanβ\sim m_t/m_b$ regime in which the neutral Higgs boson ``penguin'' diagrams dominate. We make explicit the strong dependence of this enhancement on the top squarks mixing angle in the case of the chargino contribution and on the $μ$ parameter in the case of the gluino contribution. We show that, in some regions of the MSSM parametre space, the branching ratio for this process can be as large as $10^{-(5-4)}$ respecting all existing constraints, including the CLEO measurement of $BR(B\to X_sγ)$. We also estimate, that for chargino and stop masses $\sim{\cal O}(100$ GeV) $BR(B^0_s\to l^+l^{\prime -})$ with $ll^\prime=eτ$ or $μτ$ can be of the order of $10^{-11}$ for the still allowed values of the off-diagonal entries in the slepton mass matrix.
