Supergravity and the $b\to s,\gamma$ decay

We evaluate the branching ratio BR($b\rightarrow s,\gamma$) in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), determining the corresponding phenomenological restrictions on two attractive supergravity scenarios, namely minimal supergravity and a class of models with a natural solution to the $\mu$ problem. We have included in the calculation some one--loop refinements that have a substantial impact on the results. It is stressed the fact that an eventual improvement of the experimental bounds of order $10^{-4}$ would strengthen the restrictions on the MSSM dramatically. This would be enough to discard these supergravity scenarios with $\mu 0$ there will remain low-energy windows.
