Kaon Physics with Light Sgoldstinos and Parity Conservation

Superpartners of goldstino — scalar and pseudoscalar sgoldstinos — interact weakly with ordinary particles. One or both of them may be light. We consider a class of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model in which interactions of sgoldstinos with quarks and gluons conserve parity but do not conserve quark flavor. If the pseudoscalar sgoldstino P is light, m P < ( m K − 2 m π ), and the scalar sgoldstino is heavier, m S > ( m K − m π ), an interesting place for experimental searches is the poorly explored area of three-body decays of kaons, K 0 S,L → π + π − P , K 0 S,L → π 0 π 0 P and K + → π + π 0 P , with P subsequently decaying into γγ , possibly e + e − , or flying away from the detector. We evaluate the constraints on the flavor-violating coupling of sgoldstino to quarks which are imposed by K 0 L − K 0 S mass difference and CP-violation in neutral kaon system, and find that these constraints allow for fairly large Br( K → ππP ). Depending on the phase of sgoldstino-quark coupling, most sensitive to light pseudoscalar sgoldstino are searches either for decays K 0 L → ππP or K + → π + π 0 P and K 0 S → ππP . Generally speaking, there are no bounds on Br( K 0 L → ππP ). For most values of the phase, branching ratio of K + → π + π 0 P is about three orders of magnitude smaller than Br( K 0 L → ππP ) the branching ratios of K 0 S → ππP are very small. for a certain phase the situation is We that the most interesting ranges of branching ratios at These searches for light pseudoscalar sgoldstino would be sensitive to the supersymmetry breaking scale √ F in the 100 TeV range and above, provided MSSM flavor violating parameters are close to their experimental bounds. We also briefly discuss the cases of light scalar sgoldstino and relatively heavy sgoldstinos.
