B-physics Signature of a Supersymmetric U(2) Flavor Model

Abstract

We discuss the B-physics signature of a supersymmetric U(2) flavor model in which the third generation scalars are relatively light (electroweak scale masses). We impose current experimental constraints on such a framework and obtain expectations for various B-physics processes. Here we present CP violation in (b->s gamma) and (b->phi K), and, Bs-Bsbar mixing. We show that if realized in nature, such a framework can be discovered in current and upcoming experiments.
