Flavor Physics in Supersymmetric Models

Abstract

Flavor physics, in which symmetry breaking and violation of conservation lows in reactions of leptons and hadrons are studied, has played an important role in particle physics, and it has been complementary to searches for new particles at high energy colliders. The supersymmetric standard model is one of the most promising models beyond the standard model, and it is expected to be discovered and confirmed in the near future. Flavor physics will play an important role in these processes again. Especially, it may give clues for the questions such as, "what is the origin of the supersymmetry breaking?" and "what is the model beyond the supersymmetric standard model?".
