Collider signals beyond minimal flavor violation in the MSSM — •Michael Rauch and Michael Spannowsky — ITP, Universität Karlsruhe, 76128 Karlsruhe, Deutschland

The assumption of Minimal Flavor Violation in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is imposed to account for the good agreement of Standard Model predictions with experimental data, but it is no first principal result. Although many of the parameters of the soft-breaking lagrangian are severely constrained by flavor observables and electroweak precision measurements, several parameters remain almost unconstrained. We consider non-minimal flavor violating effects in top and Higgs production processes.
