CP asymmetry for radiative B-meson decay in the supersymmetric standard model Original Research Article

We study a rate asymmetry in the inclusive decay B → Xsγ, assuming the supersymmetric standard model based on N = 1 supergravity. A complex coefficient A for scalar-trilinear couplings is the source of CP violation, which is contained in the mass-squared matrices for squarks. The model parameters are non-trivially constrained by experimental results for the branching ratio of the radiative decay and for the electric dipole moments of the neutron and the electron. The decay rate asymmetry is predicted to be much larger than that by the standard model in a wide region of the parameter space compatible with the experiments. Its magnitude can be maximally around 0.1, which will be well accessible at B factories.
