Abstract:
We present a systematic analysis of all the contributions at the leading log order to the branching ratio of the inclusive radiative B decay, B --> X_s + gamma in the framework of supersymmetry without R-parity. The relevant set of four-quark operators involved in QCD running are extended from 6 (within SM and MSSM) to 24, with also many new contributions to the Wilson coefficients of (chromo)magnetic penguins for either chiral structure. We present complete analytical results here without any a priori assumptions on the form of R-parity violation. Mass eigenstate expressions are given, hence the results are free from the commonly adopted mass-insertion approximation. In the numerical analysis, we focus here only on the influence of the trilinear lambda-prime couplings and report on the possibility of a few orders of magnitude improvement for the bounds on a few combinations of the lambda-prime couplings. Our study shows that the Wilson coefficients of the current-current operators due to R-parity violation dominate over the direct contributions to the penguins. However, the inter-play of various contributions is complicated due to the QCD corrections which we elaborate here.
