Abstract

The squark mass-matrix from the soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking sector contains a rich flavor-mixing structure that allows O(1) mixings among top- and charm-squarks while being consistent with all the existing theoretical and experimental bounds. We formulate a minimal flavor-changing-neutral current scheme in which the squark mixings arise from the non-diagonal scalar trilinear interactions. This feature can be realized in a class of new models with horizontal U(1)H symmetry which generates realistic quark-mass matrices and provides a solution to the SUSY μ-problem. Finally, without using the mass-insertion approximation, we analyze SUSY radiative corrections to the bcH+ and tch0 couplings, and show that these couplings can reveal exciting new discovery channels for the Higgs boson signals at the Tevatron and the LHC.
