Supersymmetric contribution to the quark-lepton universality violation in charged currents

Abstract

The supersymmetric one-loop contribution to the quark-lepton universality violation in the low-energy charged current weak interactions is studied. It is shown that the recent experimental data with the 1-$σ$ deviation from the universality may be explained by the existence of the light sleptons ($<220$GeV) and relatively light chargino and neutralinos ($<600$GeV) with significant gaugino components. The sign of the universality violation is briefly discussed.
